Show Notes
The creative has a journey to undertake and that is the journey of unlearning. We mush unravel all the stories and myths we have been told about art, creativity and the artist. We don’t have to be starving artists, we don’t have to live with creative blocks, we can make art into more than a hobby if we so desire. We do not have to wait for inspiration to strike. A piece of art does not have to sell to be seen as valuable. Your creativity is not something that should only be used on a part time basis as if it isn’t with you all of the time. It is yours, innately yours and only you can create works of art in your own flavour, no one else can create the same art as you, it has your essence in it.
You can make of your creativity what you wish, but make sure the ideas you hold about it are yours and not some out dated ways of thinking that were handed down to you by someone else. You are a conduit for your art and it passes through you and out of you with your own signature on it.

More from The Creative Unlearning
Your ideas are impotent without your collaboration. You are the activating agent. In this episode we take a look at why you resist acting on your ideas and what you can do about it. We end with a reflection prompt.
In this week’s episode I speak about how lucky we are to be artists. We can be told about a lot of negative aspects of being an artist but the positives far outweigh the negatives. If you are an artist, you are one of the lucky ones!
In this week’s episode I speak about using the beginning of a new year in a totally different way to how we are all told to begin it. Instead of rushing into action on your goals how about using the time to daydream about your new ideas and allow time for creative incubation.
In this week’s episode I speak about the sentiments behind the statement artists often hear , which is. “I could do that” and how it can lean into devaluing the work of an artist and the art itself.
In this week’s episode I ask the question, are you a creative butterfly? Do you flit from one new idea to the next but never see any single one of them through to the end? We take a look at how we can use constraint as a way of insuring we learn to see some projects through to completion.
