Answering the call to create: 3 ways to show up for your art

I spoke to someone who is struggling to show up for their art. He walks by his studio and looks at the unfinished work on the table, and keeps walking…

At the same time he shared the real pull he feels to make art. He feels called to create!

Right now I’m working on some ideas that make me feel uncomfortable. So much so that I started one of my drawings months ago and then avoided it as much as I could. I was scared. Did I have the skill to achieve the results I imagine? Will anyone get it? And where will I show it? I’ve been rejected most places since arriving in Texas.

This tension between the call to create and the choice to show up and do it will always be with us. We all need to find our way to cope with it.
