Art Talk with Libby Saylor
7. Obey Your Art
In this episode, I talk about the importance of letting your art take you in the direction it wants you to go, rather than forcing your art in the direction you think the both of you should go. I share about some recent pivots I’ve had to take in the name of obeying my art, and how those detours came about. I discuss the importance of trust and surrender when obeying your art. And finally, I talk about how obeying your art often requires you to change your plans completely. But through all of these challenges, you must still obey!
