173. The Art of Letting Go: Embracing Simplicity in Your Creative Process
The Laura Horn Art PodcastShow Notes
Ever feel like you have too many tabs open in your brain? In this episode, I share my recent struggles with overwhelm and how simplifying my art business and practice helped me find balance. I chat with Richie about the clarity I gained from organising my thoughts on a whiteboard and the comfort of returning to simple watercolour techniques. This conversation also helped me refine my vision for the new online classes I’m working on and emphasised the importance of keeping things simple and accessible.
I hope you enjoy the episode! Tune in for a fresh perspective on embracing simplicity in your creative process.

There's a fine line between preparing and procrastinating! This week, we answer a listener question about why it can be so hard to actually sit down and make art.
I'd love to say that my journey as an artist has been a smooth one, filled with joyful painting and effortless learning, but I think we all know that's not quite how things go!
What is flow state, why is it so beneficial for artists, and what can we do to create more opportunities for it to show up in our creative practice?
Marketing is a tricky part of running a creative business. It can feel pushy, icky or simply like a chore — but at other times, it can be surprisingly interesting and even fun.
In this episode, Richie shares a simple mindset tool for checking in on how we’re doing. Are we flat chat and edging towards burnout? Or have we eased off so much that we’re starting to disconnect and stagnate? It’s a helpful way to find that sustainable sweet spot and keep the spark alive over the long term.
