Imagination and creativity are given to each one of us at birth. Some hold onto it, but others judge themselves as non-artistic and become disconnected from that part of themselves.
I believe that even if rejected long ago, that seed can be cultivated and grow if coaxed past disempowering beliefs and inner judgement.
In my own life, my skills have been encouraged, but my early years as an artist were weighed down by self-doubt. Through practice, I’ve learned how to allow the joy of curiosity—rather than judgement—to lead. This frees me from perfectionistic tendencies, allowing the process to become a celebration that pays tribute to the imagination.
