Nurturing
Your Creative Mind

There’s something primal about creating—it taps into what makes us fundamentally human. When we suppress this urge, it doesn’t disappear. Instead it turns into restlessness, frustration, a sense that something’s missing. You have to let it out. Express yourself through the deeply fulfilling act of creation.

In this growing collection of writing, I’ll share insights from thirty years of creating—including fifteen years as a professional artist and designer. I’ve learned hard lessons about the creative journey, and I want to help you avoid the same pitfalls—life’s short!

Everything is hard before it is easy. Starting your creative practice can feel overwhelming—where do you even begin? These posts break down the art-making process into manageable steps, one technique at a time. I’ll demystify the fundamentals so you can build confidence and momentum. If there’s something specific you’re struggling with, let me know in the comments. I’m here to help you get unstuck.
