Show Notes
Children have a way of learning and creating that is imbued with fun, joy and lightheartedness. They have an overwhelming amount to learn in a short space of time and they do so with a level of skill few adults possess. Instead adults, adopt a method of more struggle and less grace. They remove the fun out of their activities and allot their time in ways that they view as being responsible adults but do not take even the smallest amount of time in the day to creatively play.
What if, we chose to adopt the ways of children when it comes to creating and make art from a place of joy and light heartedness and remove the struggle and expectations we place on ourselves and allow ourselves to play, even if it is only 10 minutes of our day?

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.
