Ans: Hello

Famous actor once said, I love theatre but acting in plays does not help me to pay my bills, so I do movies as well.

If ok with you why not pursue art as a part time...this way you can earn from Architect practise and also pursue art...also it may happen that you may start liking architect work as well...

Keep it open and flexible...
