Welcome to my blog/vlog where I’ll be sharing lots of things about art and my own art journey building confidence to be creative. (video)
See below for the full video transcript
I’ve struggled with creative self confidence over much of my life, believing I didn’t have ‘art’ in me, or other people are artists – not me, or I can’t draw therefore I’m not an artist.
As I step forward, follow my heart and just start the creative process (usually not knowing where I’m going) I am finding that I’m naturally building confidence, not taking my ‘mistakes’ so personally and am able to keep going when I’m feeling the old ‘I can’t do this’ narrative start to run.
Saying no to self doubt and YES to having a go has been a huge part of my process towards expressing myself more authentically.
To help you love and develop your creativity, I share loads of information and insights that you can find in the blog and over these categories;
Covering all sorts of topics such as;
Making art, completing and exhibiting your work, materials and skills, building creative confidence, working with inspiration, joys of making mistakes, mindfulness techniques and tools to help you listen to your heart and much more.
As a late starter to art and self-taught artist, I offer a unique perspective on the challenges about making a life change to be more creative and run with it! So, I share what has worked and what doesn’t work as I test and experiment, learn from others and from you.
You’ll find a lot of the blog posts contain videos and some are pure text articles. Videos are usually unscripted as I share my most authentic self as best I can.
I run regular events and courses for kids through to adults that you can find on my Events page.
