The creative process is not linear. After sitting on the shelf for over 20 years, a seashell painting finally made its way back to my easel and taught me a vital lesson about releasing rigid expectations and reclaiming creative play.

My art studio has become a reflection of my creative mind: cluttered, messy, and stuck. It's a physical manifestation of a creative block that makes it hard to breathe, let alone create. In this post, I'm getting honest about the struggle and starting the journey to clear the space and find my way back to my art.
