Why PLAY isn't just a phase - it's the essence of art making
Creativity isn’t about getting everything perfect - it’s about playing, exploring, and seeing where the process takes you. For years, I thought play was just the messy beginning of art-making, something to grow out of once I got “serious.” But the more I create, the more I realize that play is the heart of creativity. When we let go of perfection and embrace curiosity, that’s when the real magic happens.
my 100 days project: what worked, what didn't, and everything in between
One of the biggest lessons was letting go of perfectionism. Not every piece turned out great—some were downright bad! But instead of discarding them, I embraced the process. I posted everything, good and bad, and found pride in my entire body of work.
Beyond improving my technique, this project helped me find my artistic voice. It wasn’t about posting on social media or selling my work—it was about creating freely, learning from mistakes, and allowing my soul to speak through art.
