Every Twist and Turn in My Art Process
This video is a little different from my usual ones-but stick around, enjoy the journey, and I promise we’ll end up somewhere interesting!
Normally, when I create a piece of art, my process is full of hiccups, dead ends, and unexpected detours. But when I make a video, I get to choose what you see, leaving out all the messy in-between moments.
Not today.
In this video, I’m letting you in on the full, unfiltered creative process-the struggles, the problem-solving, and the moments of doubt-because that’s what making art "really" looks like. Let’s dive in and embrace the mess together!
