Reflecting on Your Art (017)

In this episode we explore the creative process and the importance of reflection in artistic practice.

How do you evaluate the changes in your art, the significance of inspiration, and the challenges that artists face?

We believe that artists can define their own measures of success not connected to how much they sell but how authentic their art has become.

Learn our thoughts on moving forward with future artistic endeavours and how we use our reflections to feed this. We also reflect on how it’s important to make art a part of everyday life and how reflection can feed this to make it easier to incorporate it as such.

Takeaways Creative process can be likened to a recipe.

Reflecting on changes in art practice is essential.

Artists should give themselves permission to experiment.

Trusting the creative process can lead to growth.

Success in art should be measured by connection, not sales.

It's important to reflect on how art has changed over time.

Incorporating poetry can enhance artistic expression.

Exploring new materials can lead to exciting outcomes.

Art should be integrated into daily life for inspiration.

Quick sketches can capture the essence of a moment.
