Otherwise everything you do is pre-judged by your notion of what they might think. And that's very limiting to your imagination and ability to work. Keep doing what you're doing and stuff 'em. Hi Leah

Getting the art lecturers out of your head can be one of the biggest steps to moving forward. Otherwise everything you do is pre-judged by your notion of what they might think. And that’s very limiting to your imagination and ability to work. Keep doing what you’re doing and stuff ‘em.

I post all my pictures on my social website and get positive feedback, but lets face it they are not going to say hey Leah that is so amateur are they? My current work is flowing naturally but doesn't have any of the symbolic bite of my usual work, just celebrating the retro themes of my childhood mixed with other cultural types of decoration. My inner voice thinks of the old art lecturers and how they would no doubt snub such work, but then I think its enjoyable, im being productive and I am pushing beyond the mere greeting card look so that's enough surely? I hope so that's the only thing that eats at me, wondering if I'm fooling myself... In the meantime it's therapeutic, so meh I finally found the time to think and motivation to go back to my art.

I have just a few days ago discovered your website. Thank you for sharing your writing. I am finding it to be very helpful as it is both insightful and succinct. I have read several articles, printed off one, and will look forward to more of the same in the future. Oh dear, My inner critic clearly needs a bit of work.
