The sticky situation is when you quit your job, your income stop coming, at start up business, you don't know if the money would come. Should you just go for it and have some faith in it; who knows the money would be great?

I don't know about art, but I work from home and the money is great. Let me know if you would like more info.

Dont quit your job. You will need the money to fall back on in the beginning. It takes money to start up every new business and you dont want to empty out your savings (if you have any) to do that. Better yet, fnd out if it is possible to work on a part time basis. It will cut your wages a little, but at least it's something coming in. Use your co workers as contacts. Invite them to check out your stuff. Get the word of mouth going. Not on business hours of course....you'll get sacked. Print up invites, or send e-vites to them to let them see what kind of art you're offering.

Keep working as long as possible, save as much as possible and sell all you don't need (you need six months worth of funds to live on). In the meantime apply for grants, low income loans, approach partners with funds and federal grants for your business. This is a timely project, so get started now.
Don't give up , it's a beautiful dream and if anyone can do it, you can. Good luck. All good things involve some sort of risk.

What I recommend you do is to have a Plan B, have a 2nd income source while working then when Plan B start to bring in more income than your job then move to Plan B fulltime, to further help you out checkout the link below

Best to star your your PlanB home Biz alongside your current job so that you take it to the point where you can leave your job without financial pressure.
PlanB is good but only when you start at the right time when there's no pressure.

You need savings to live on for a long while unless you are an amazing artist with an established clientele. Either that or move into your Mom's basement.
