Does the modern age with its immediacy and constant comparison affect artists' work? How does seeking feedback impact their creative process? Join us on Just Make Art as we tackle these intriguing questions, drawing from the profound wisdom of poet Rainer Maria Rilke and our personal experiences as artists and mentors. We unravel the complex relationship between feedback, validation, and the fine line that divides them. Delve into our candid conversation on how external opinions can influence an artist's journey.

We further dive into the life and work of Cyifford Still, an abstract expressionist artist, and the impact of self-reflection on his art. Hear moments from Ty Nathan Clark's journey, who discovered his voice and started narrating his story through his work, often with a touch of poetry. We also discuss the significance of solitude, and how it can fuel creativity. We share our personal experiences about revisiting old journals and poems, and how isolation can be a powerful tool for extending one's solitude.

Our conversation extends to the importance of listening to your work, viewing all types of art, and how self-reflection contributes to growth in the artistic journey. We wrap up our episode with a review of a compelling documentary and a book, exploring the power of art and the importance of experiencing it firsthand. Join us on Just Make Art for a deep exploration of art, creativity, and the artist's journey.
