I am thrilled to say that I am featured in the Hampshire Daily Gazette today in the Art Makers column! You can see the article here. I am reflecting on why it was such a good thing for me to do this in- case you need a nudge to go ahead and reach out to your local paper and see if there is a simpilar opportunity.
Back to you! Have you been featured like this and have a sense of the value of it? I would also love to read your comments about the article itself- did anything I say touch something in you?

Enjoy the lack of focus in your art, it is an essential part of the processThe good news is that you have been getting into the studio and making work, at least some. You are trying to get your creative work moving again and you have decided to go ahead and do short, quick studies- what I would call doodles. The key is that they are low pressure things- throw away work, nothing serious- just a way to get the juices flowing. I will talk more about this process in another post. The bad news is that when you walk away from it, your inner critic starts yelling about how stupid it is, and how scattered your ideas are, and how you have no discipline or direction and you are never going to amount to anything as an artist. Ouch. It is hard to keep going in the face of this! I don't know if it really helps to know this, but it is completely normal. I go through cycles of this as does every artist that I know. And it can be very painful. As frustrating and painful as it is, what is going on here is really good stuff! |
