Making Art Just Because: Creativity Without Productivity or Purpose

Описание: This video is a reflection on making art just because—not to improve, perform, sell, or turn it into something productive... and why that kind of creativity seems to challenge us so much.

I’m talking about creativity as a living force rather than a project. The kind of art-making that exists simply to help your thoughts rest, your nervous system settle, or your inner life have somewhere to land. A stick doll made in the moment. A drawing that doesn’t need to go anywhere. A creative act that doesn’t ask to become content, courage, or proof of anything.

This is not a tutorial or a lesson. It’s a conversation about intuition, aging, creative permission, and why the urge to make doesn’t disappear as we get older—and doesn’t need to be justified by productivity or bravery.

If you’re craving a slower, more honest relationship with creativity, where making is allowed to be enough on its own, watch this. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

You can find more of my work at Sacred Art & Story, where I explore intuitive making, symbolic art, and creativity as a tool for listening inward.
