feeling lonely as an artist? you’re not alone <3 Being a part-time painter can feel beautifully freeing—and strangely lonely. Whether you paint at night after work, squeeze in studio time on weekends, or juggle art between other commitments, it’s easy to feel isolated as an artist. In this blog, I’m sharing thoughts on the quiet loneliness that sometimes comes with creating, and how to gently reconnect—with yourself, your art, and the wider world.
Sometimes, despite all the hours, effort, and love you pour into a painting, you reach a point where it just doesn’t feel right. In this blog, I’m talking about the emotional rollercoaster of deciding to start over—from the frustration to the quiet confidence that comes from trusting your own creative instincts. Deciding to start a painting again is something I seem to face over and over – sometimes I know i’m being too perfectionistic and other times, the painting really does just need a do-over. Whether you’ve been here before or you’re facing a similar decision right now, this one’s for you.
