BTW 76: The World Needs Your Art, with arts consultant Beth Pickens
Between the Worlds Podcast
How to Approach Beginnings
Wayne Ball: For me, because I have ADHD, it really does help me to think of beginnings. He says the first thing we do is determine what is the day every week where you're not earning money and you're not a productive artist. Other times people want to move into something and they're feeling some trepidation and fear he says. But after the honeymoon phase of any project, when you're actually lost in the woods you just created, that's how you finish a project - by finding a path out.
In this episode, in honor of the creative magic of the Court of Cups, we speak with art consultant Beth Pickens, author of Make Your Art No Matter What, and Your Art Will Save Your Life; and host of the podcast, Mind Your Practice.. Talking with Beth inspired us to roll up our sleeves and recommit to our creative work, and we know it will for you as well. We talk about why artists are important, how to keep making work even if you're feeling depressed or anxious, and how to build a life that can support your creativity. We know you're going to love it! Join us!
