"every other interest I've had in my life is like a blip compared to the intensity and the duration of my love of art--it's how I attempt to sate my curiosity about life and the world and people, and it's how I nurture every fun, interesting, vibrant, and good thing about me. I don't want to know myself having it relegated to a 'hobby.'"
That right there is why I've always liked you, Mel. Because art isn't just "a passing interest" for you, or an "a unique career option" or a way to kill time. You are who you are because of your passion. Because unlike so much of the rest of the world, you actually give a shit about what you do, with all your heart. You don't need to worry about it becoming "just a hobby". I don't think that's possible for you.
I know you're probably tired of hearing it, but keep your head up. Don't give up.
