The rain pretty much hasn’t stopped for days now, so it’s been the perfect excuse to disappear into the studio and work on some ceramics.
I’ve finally wrapped up a large commission that I’ve been working on for months, which has freed me up to spend time on the things that really put my mind at ease. Making roses for me is one of those processes where I completely fall into a flow state. I stop overthinking, switch off for a while and just create.
It’s the same feeling I get when I paint birds. Finding subject matter that genuinely connects with you is so important, not just for a creative career but for your creative life in general. It’s what keeps you grounded in the process and reminds you why you started creating in the first place.
