Still trying to figure out your artistic style and wondering why it hasn’t “clicked” yet? In this episode, we talk about what style actually is, why it rarely shows up all at once, and how it quietly forms while you’re already doing the work. This isn’t about forcing a look or chasing visual consistency for social media. It’s about paying attention to patterns, process, and the decisions you make over time. If you’ve been questioning your style or feeling like it should be clearer by now, this episode is a reminder that clarity comes from working, not waiting.

Reflection prompts:

• What shows up more than once, even when you weren’t trying to repeat yourself?
• What decisions feel familiar across different pieces?
• What parts of the work feel like they belong together, even if the surface details change?

Pausing can feel risky when you’re a creative person. It can feel like losing momentum or falling behind. In this episode, I talk about why pauses aren’t a failure or a lack of motivation, but a necessary part of how creative work actually functions. We look at what a pause can really look like, why creativity doesn’t disappear when you slow down, and how stepping back can quietly change your relationship with your work. If you’ve been feeling tired, stuck, or pressured to keep producing, this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever felt behind as an artist or like your path doesn’t look the way it’s “supposed” to, this episode is for you. We talk about why most creative lives aren’t linear, how detours and pauses are part of the process, and why progress isn’t always visible from the outside.

This is a grounding conversation about letting go of comparison, moving at a pace that fits your real life, and trusting that your timeline doesn’t have to match anyone else’s to be valid.

We made it to February! So, January was a bit of a slog (mostly thanks to snow, also thanks to some burnout) and now there's some action in the studio. In this episode, I chat about processes (and being ok with yours!) as well as .... what to do about selling our art? (or better...when should we sell our art?)

It's still quiet in my art studio but....things are brewing. I sense a new series is coming and I've been having some fun with the "fig tree" challenge linked below.

It's a quick catch up episode on my week 1 on my self-imposed creative sabbatical. How has your first "official" post-holiday week been for your creative practice?

New year…new creative year. In this episode, I’m talking about where I’m actually at right now in my process, what’s feeling real, what’s feeling messy, and what I’m carrying into this next season. No resolutions. No pressure to reinvent myself. Just an honest check in on energy, time, capacity, and the kind of creative rhythm I want this year. Did you make a resolution? Do tell!

Not financial. Emotional. In this episode, we do an emotional budget review of the year. What drained you more than it was worth. What refilled you that you didn’t protect enough. Where your creative energy really went. A simple reflection that helps you reset without shame and choose one small change for the next season.

This episode sits right in that in-between space ...the moment where one creative year is closing and another hasn’t quite begun yet. We’re talking about thresholds… standing between two doors, one behind you and one ahead, and deciding what you want to leave behind and what you’re ready to carry forward.

It’s not about setting resolutions or having everything figured out. It’s about pausing long enough to notice what no longer fits, what still feels alive, and how you want to step into what’s next. If you’re feeling reflective, a little uncertain, or quietly ready for a shift, this episode is for you.

In this episode we look back at your creative year by listening to what your work has been trying to tell you. I walk you through simple ways to review your art, notice patterns, pay attention to what kept showing up, and see where you felt most alive in your practice. If you are craving a gentler year in review for your creative life without pressure or perfection, this reflection is for you.
