Art Making Mottos / by Jackie Sanders

The creative process is ever-evolving, but some things stay consistent through the change. Below are my art making mottos, a list that is bound to grow as I settle into my new studio. This sheet hangs above my sketching table and is always at the front of my mind.

  • The healthier you are the more creative you can be

  • If you “don’t” have time to create, that is when you need it the most

  • Embrace the beauty of an experience you didn’t expect

  • Community over competition

  • Sharpen your axe to avoid burn out

  • Overwhelm = lack of focus

  • Focus on the verb, not the noun

  • Time does not equal value brought

  • Leave your phone out of sight

  • Do the work

  • The goal is to lose track of time in the process

  • Always ask questions

  • Actively choose the future you are creating
