- Does perfectionism drive you crazy? One slightly off brush stroke, and it seems like a disaster when you’re up close, but as you take a step back you can see the whole picture coming together.
Life can be thought of using the same metaphor. It is so easy to get lost in the busy-ness of every day. It's only when you take a step back and see how far you have come, you can focus on the most meaningful parts, and not sweat the small stuff. - Figure out your practice, not just how you make your art. What do you need to do before and after you create, to get yourself in the best headspace possible.
- Art is less about the how and the what and more about the why. Ask yourself why you are creating this piece, where did the inspiration or motivation for this work come from.
- Creativity is communication. It is a craft you can use to get people to listen to you for a minute. If you could write, sing or communicate the message you are passionate about in any other way - you would. But art is the tool you have, so that is what you use.
