Community is such an important part of the journey we go on as creators. By knowing the difference from working alone to allowing others in on the process can help us elevate to new levels we may never be able to reach. We are much stronger when we are together in a community.

Where do you find yourself creating the most? Is there a vibe that make you feel more inspired or have a bigger desire to create? Your environment shapes your creativity. Let's explore how to design a space that nurtures your creative spirit and enhances self-expression. I want to help you discover ways to help you focus on your craft and escape the world of distractions we live in.

We live in a world where we are defined by makeup and filters. We want the world to see us in a certain way and try our hardest to blend into who society says we should be. We don’t think for ourselves and get through life by simply going through the motions. In a world full of so much fake things there is a power in being authentically yourself. Today let’s talk about how we can build authentic connections in a social media picture perfect world.

What story are you going to be telling? A personal brand is what will bring clarity to you, your artwork and your story. It helps provide you with a goal and vision. Without this brand you may find yourself struggling to stay consistent or to even know what to make next. It also provides your audience with an understanding of what your brand does and what it stands for.

You don’t have to lose yourself to become a brand. This isn’t about selling yourself out or giving up on your authenticity. A personal brand is a tool we can use to help guide us in our story telling. Today I want to talk about what it looks like building your own personal brand and how to do it in a way that helps grow your authenticity instead of losing it.

Can art still be authentic if it’s made to sell? Just because you’ve found a way to earn money from your creativity—does that mean you’ve sold out? Many artists wrestle with the fear that once their work becomes profitable, it loses its purity. We struggle to find a balance between turning what we love into a career and keeping the passion alive. There’s a constant tension between creating for expression and creating for income. But do those two have to be at odds? Or is it possible for both to coexist—art that’s honest and also pays the bills?

Being consistent is absolutely key to creative success. I promise you, this statement holds true across various artistic endeavors. Create even when you don’t feel that spark of inspiration, and perhaps you will discover that inspiration surprisingly finds you, or you may simply become a better and more skilled creator in the process. Often, we find ourselves believing that we can only create when inspiration strikes, leading us to wait around for that perfect moment to begin a new project. But what if that perfect moment never arrives? Imagine how many valuable opportunities and experiences you may miss out on if you don’t take the initiative to start today.

So you want to start writing or keeping a journal and wonder what the best way to start is. Do you pickup a pen and paper and begin writing or should you open your laptop and start a new note. There are many opinions out there and just by doing a quick Google or YouTube search you are bombarded with responses to why each is better. There are many strong opinions out there but I would argue that what is more important is that you just start writing. It doesn’t matter what the means you use is as long as you are doing it.
