Episode Synopsis

If all you can say about your art is how you made it, you’re missing the point. Process isn’t connection. And connection is everything.  Too many artists default to the “recipe list” when asked about their work. “I used bright colors, layered some texture, tried a new medium …” That’s safe. That’s surface-level. That’s BORING.  In today’s episode, I’m calling out the truth: “good enough” art is dead art. Social media pressures, perfectionism, and fear of vulnerability can sneak in and steal the soul from our work. And when that happens, collectors don’t connect, communities don’t resonate, and even we as artists stop feeling excited about our creations.  The good news? You can bring the magic back and connect to your art again.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing! And don’t forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king_.
