“That’s a key thing - to be willing to make art that you don’t like and be almost neutral about it, be objective about it, rather than making it mean anything.” ~ Tamara Laporte.
Can making art change your life?
Today’s guest, mixed media artist, Tamara Laporte, certainly thinks so. Like so many creative types, she struggled for years with self-doubt and hating every painting she produced.
But then, one day, she made a pact with herself to give up making art if it continued to make her feel this way…
And that’s when something happened which inspired her to carry on and use what she’d learned to help others.
That’s when she learned to let go of the preciousness and quest for perfection that stops so many artists in their tracks.
And, in today’s interview, she relives this defining moment in her own life and shares lots of great advice to help you overcome any hurdles you might be facing.
So, if you’ve ever wondered if making art can change your life, you’ll find the answer in today’s inspiring podcast interview.
