Takeaways

1. It’s ok to do a whole bunch of different things. That’s why we work in series - to do something with all these ideas.

2. Persevere even if you have a lot of anxiety, insecurity and self-doubt. Showing up is such a big part of being an artist.

3. “I allow the painting to take me to where it needs to go. I can never force the idea into the painting.”

4. Just trust the process.

5. Recognize that they are just thoughts and feelings – push through and learn to trick that inner critic.
