My Art Journey: Battling Perfectionism with Chronic Illness

Описание: Perfectionism for artists can stop you before you even begin. For four years, my art journey came to a complete halt. Chronic illness and overwhelming fatigue made picking up a brush feel impossible, yet the absence of art left me miserable. Art is how I process the world, but I was stuck in a cycle of physical pain and the exhaustion it caused, unable to find my way back.

The real battle wasn't just with my body; it was with the insidious belief that if I couldn't create at 100%, it wasn't worth creating at all. Perfectionism whispered that if I couldn't be "old me," I shouldn't create at all. This video shares my deeply personal story of navigating this internal pressure, the feeling of being "lazy" despite invisible illness, and the path I'm forging to reconnect with art in a gentle, sustainable way.

Join me as I open up about seeking professional help, the unwavering support from my galleries, and the ongoing process of learning to create differently. This isn't a story of overcoming, but of learning to embrace a new rhythm, finding joy in the process, and redefining what it means to be an artist with chronic illness.

If you're an artist struggling with perfectionism, creative burnout, or the challenges of making art with chronic illness or low energy, this video is for you. Let's find our way back to the joy of creating, together.
