There is something to be said about quantity over quality. At least when it comes to taking that first step in pursuing a creative project and overcoming perfectionism. In the first episode of Uncoiled by Flowing Grounds, Helena connects with Sarah Nilson, a professional artist residing in Austin, Texas, to uncoil how Sarah began her artistic pursuits and navigates imposter syndrome amid public influence — And why she prescribes jiu jitsu for pretty much anything.

Sarah Nilson is an oil painter, illustrator, and creator of the happiness project "Just Froget About It" on Instagram. While art was always a part of her life, it was not until early 2020 that she started taking things more seriously and committed to a creative practice. To connect with Sarah and inquire about her work, follow @justfrogetaboutit and @sarahnilsonart on Instagram and visit her website https://sarahnilson.com/.
