For me, it was realizing that I didn't have to love every piece of work that I create.  It was ALL about creating a body of Work.

Don’t get stuck chasing perfection in one piece – instead, focus on building a body of work. Each artwork is a step forward, a layer of growth, and an essential part of your artistic journey. Creating a collection allows your unique voice to emerge more powerfully, and it frees you from the pressure of making every piece ‘perfect.’

Remember, growth comes from practice, exploration, and consistency, not from holding onto a single canvas for months. Embrace the journey and let each piece tell its part of the story.
