Give art (another) chance


Listen Later

In this episode, I discuss my feelings about uncovering some old art in a storage unit that I was clearing out. Uncovering this art became an emotional bombshell because, for a long time, I felt it represented artistic failure.

In this episode, I talk about how I shifted that perspective and realized that old art is never abandoned but can take on a life of its own much later. 

I hope that what I learned helps you realize that the artwork and creativity you have locked away in a drawer or storage unit might have a second life in it yet.

Takeaways

  • Forgive yourself for not achieving past artistic dreams, and change the narrative around your creative journey.
  • Revisit old artwork and see it from a new perspective, recognizing its value and potential.
  • Creativity is not linear, and the timing of sharing or using old work may vary.
  • Consider repurposing or incorporating old work into new projects.

Are you on a journey of creative growth? I urge you to join me here as I share what I have learned so that it may serve you:
