Making Matters
I believe there's value in trying something unfamiliar, figuring it out as you go, and seeing what happens. It's how I approach my own artwork. It means letting go of perfectionism and taking risks, two things that can feel pretty scary.
Somewhere along the way, many of us decide we're not creative. Maybe someone told us that, or maybe we started thinking of art as something that requires capital-M Mastery. We forget that it's okay to be a beginner.
There's something powerful about reclaiming the confidence and freedom we had as kids, when making something new was reason enough to try.
