The Beauty of Imperfection

Dear Wonderful, Creative You:

In today’s edition of the You Are an Artist Podcast, I’m thrilled to be talking with fiddler, step dancer, singer-songwriter virtuoso: April Verch. We are talking about the beauty of imperfection in creativity and letting your art “hold”difficult feelings. Whatever form of art you practice for creative self-care, I’m hoping her messages about making space for the “scratchiness” in the arts are music to your ears.

There’s so much overlap in the creative process between music, art, dance, writing, acting, or any creative pursuit. I invite you, if you don’t already, to draw inspiration from many types of artists. I can tell you that when you give yourself permission to explore through various forms – it deepens the meaning of your art, and therefore, your enjoyment.

Give yourself permission to experiment: Write your paintings, sing your poems, and dance your drawings. Making art this way is just for you. It’s a personal-creative adventure. Don’t get hung up on what it might look or sound like to someone else. Give yourself permission to dive deep into your own creative well. I promise the journey is worthwhile.
