Ep. 12: Making art a part of everyday life is non-negotiable {She of the Wild: The Podcast}

She of the Wild: The Podcast with Elizabeth Wilder Episode 12: Making Art a Part of Everyday Life is Non-Negotiable 

We make art (whatever that kind of art is: oil painting, cooking, needlepoint, writing, music, etc.) because our souls demand it. Because the work is inside of us and begs to be made, to be released into being. Because we need it. 

But we live in a world that places little value on the practice or product of creative work. So why bother with our art when it doesn't support us financially, and is seen as frivolous, unproductive, or unnecessary by the culture surrounding us?

Because we need it. Because the art needs it. Because the world needs it, even if it denies that it does. Listen for encouragement to keep on keeping on in your art, and to remember some of the benefits of practicing your art regularly.
