A little reminder for artists. There isn’t just one path, and there isn’t just one speed.
There is so much beauty in the learning, the experimenting, the trial, the error, and the growth that happens along the way. Becoming an artist isn’t just about the work you eventually produce but about the whole journey that leads you there.
The way I found my own path was through curiosity. Asking questions. Following interests and being excited about wherever they led me.
I learnt about pottery, history, chemistry. About landscapes and poetry and stories. And slowly, over time, all of those threads began to meet at a crossroads.
And I think that’s the main thing I’ve learnt about creativity, everything you love eventually finds a way to weave itself into your work.
There is a lot of advice online about how to become a “successful” artist such as what to make, how often to post, how to grow faster. But I’m not sure success is measured in views, or sales, or changing the algorithm.
To me, success is being able to spend your life creating what you love.
And the only way to do that is to show the world what you love.
In the end, the work we make is simply a reflection of the things that have moved us along the way.
