I’ve been making small art for most of my creative career, but I’ve always struggled with the pressure to work big for years and years, despite the fact that I LOVE working small, I make beautiful work in small format, and I HATE working big. In this episode, I share how I recently fell into a bit of a people pleaser ditch, trying to work big for the wrong reasons, in the wrong ways. Fortunately, I eventually dug myself out and emerged even brighter and shinier than ever before. Detours are never mistakes, only pathways that get as even more in touch with who we really are.
