Everybody needs to make their thing because being creative is part of who we are as people. We are creative beings. We have the capacity to create.
Some things we talk about…
- the necessity of solitude and how to find stillness in the busiest of lives
- the seven stages of the creative process
- the most important questions to ask after every creative project and
- how to know if your art is worth making
“If you think you’re bad, then you’re bad. If you think you’re good, then you’re good. For the artist, it’s just a matter of making the work.”
“When we create it makes us more of who we are. It’s a part of our nature. It’s a part of who we are. Just like wolves howl at the moon we create, that’s what people do. If you don’t take the time to create then you’re missing a part of your existence.”
