How a Consistent Creative Practice Helped Me Listen to My Intuition
I talk a lot about how to create a consistent creative practice. I believe this is THE way to build a body of work as an artist, no matter your medium. But what if you’re not necessarily trying to build a portfolio? What if you don’t have a goal to make a big pile of paintings or write 100 poems? I believe you can still benefit from a creative practice. In fact, I believe everyone can benefit from a creative practice.
How to Make Time for Creativity in Your Busy Schedule
As a creative person, you probably have lots of ideas for the kinds of things you want to make. I’m guessing that if I asked you what was stopping you from actually taking action on those ideas, you might say something like “I don’t have the time” or “I’m too busy with work” or something along those lines.
How to Set Up a Creative Workspace
I have a theory that creative people tend to need a lot of space. Whether you have a collection of art supplies, musical instruments, poetry notebooks, or cool dance moves, you need some room to play. As artists, it’s important that we have space in our physical environments to explore and express our creativity.
How to choose meaningful art for your home
You may have noticed that our environments can make a big impact on how we feel—have you ever decluttered your desk or brought home a new plant and noticed a big shift in your energy levels or mood? I certainly have! This is one of the reasons why I believe it’s so important to be mindful of the things we bring into our homes, including artwork.
