I have spent the past five years pushing myself to my limits, learning, exploring life as a entrepreneur, creating art and returning to writing again. At the end of 2023 I have emerged stronger in my art practice, knowing that living as an artist means embracing all of who you are. The only thing constant is change.
This is the year I have given myself permission to design the life I want to lead my way and to encourage others to do the same. As I do this I become clearer in how I want to work, what I want to create and how important travel and adventure are in keeping my inspiration alive.
I’ve written many blogposts about having a daily practice, for experimentation, documentation and accountability. What I now realise is that it is also an important tool for reviewing your own artistic development.
It’s been a year where I have happily spent probably 70% of my creative time on zoom. This was the year I became courageous, started painting again, created new and surprising artworks and leaned into my role as an arts mentor.
It’s coming up to the end of another huge year and time to start planning my Year in Review. As an artist and an entrepreneur, I think it’s really important to look back on what has happened during a year, to see the ideas, themes and events which have shaped my thinking.
I’ve never really had new year’s resolutions. However this year I am making an effort to eliminate the word ‘just’ from my sentences. This one little word ‘just’ is yelling at me! Stop using me, it says. Don’t be afraid to be bold. Stand in your power.
