Chasing Elusive Butterflies

How do you connect with your creative self? Sometimes it can feel like you’re always chasing elusive butterflies, trying to make works that you love and that resonate. Spending time regularly with your materials means ideas are more likely to suggest themselves. But it might take stubborn doggedness to keep going.

I’ve discovered that art and exercise are good companions; both can build skills and confidence through incremental, repetitive action taking.
