I love this sentiment: "It's not about being good at art. It's about art being good for you." From: @xhamas_creations on IG.

Not necessarily your favorite artist. The one who makes you think: "I should go make something." For me, it's Vali Myers. I had the privilege of meeting Vali in the late 90s while getting inspired for my own solo art exhibition. She was completely unapologetic in her creativity and lived her life as art. There was something wild, authentic, and unforgettable about her presence that has stayed with me ever since. Whenever I think of Vali, I'm reminded that art doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be alive. Here's a video on her around that time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv-fLRSD2UE Who is the artist that inspires you to create? 👇 Share their name or photo of their work and tell us why.

For those of you that are worried about time, is it possible to set aside a short creativity date with yourself this week? An hour or less is all it takes to make (or at least start) some art or work on your creative projects. Will you set this intention? If you need any encouragement let me know. 🎨

Whether it's a sketchbook, paint palette, journal, iPad, canvas, sewing machine, camera, or creative mess... Post a photo of your creative workspace below. No judgment. No perfection. Just a glimpse into where the magic happens. This community helps you to feel inspired about the creative process. I'll go first. 🌸
