How do one start experiencing flow? I recently listened to a lecture about the book "Flow: the psychology of optimal experience " By Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

The biggest obstacle in life is fear. Especially for artists in their art career. We are often very careful creatures, sensitive and riskaverse. I'm afraid to fail and I'm afraid to succeed.

I was all snuggled up in my comfortable egg shaped chair that was hanging from the ceiling at a cafe. I was reading about unconditional love and I just knew I was close to all... Continue Reading →
I have a lot of work to do right now. Several orders and a few offers on upcoming exhibitions but I just don't seem to have the time to paint right now. But is it the lack of time or is it my priorities that needs to be made differently? I don't want to give... Continue Reading →
