In this episode, Mama Judy and I had the pleasure of chatting with Bee Sieburg and Molly Courcelle, mother-daughter duo who both happen to be successful professional artists in Asheville, NC.

Bee and Molly each share their own stories of how they came to be the artists they are today. From where they draw from for inspiration in their art, to what it’s like working in adjoining studios in the River Arts District, to an “origin” story that will give you full body goosebumps!

We hope you enjoy today’s chat!

In this episode, Mama Judy and I (Jill) are diving deep into the challenges of perfectionism in the realm of creativity.

If you’ve struggled with perfectionism, you know it can take serious hold of your creativity and imagination – acting like a brake – stripping away the joy, spontaneity, and natural flow that fuels the artistic spirit.

We talk about the fact that true growth in any art form is a journey, and reaching a point of perceived perfection leaves no room for evolution.

We also touch on the difference between the healthy pursuit of excellence and the stifling weight of setting impossibly high standards, and what that looks like.

And for anyone really struggling with this mental block, Mama Judy and I offer a challenge to you… one we hope will set you free from the constraints of perfectionism.

We hope you enjoy today’s chat!

Mama Judy read something about commitment to art recently that turned the lightbulb up in a way that gave her a renewed desire to be committed to the entire process of a creative journey, NOT just the easy and fun stuff!

So this week we decided to explore some different angles of the word commitment – different ways that we hope might spark you to look at how you view commitment, in the general sense, and how you view your commitment to your art.

We hope you enjoy today’s chat!

This week Mama Judy and I are diving into the age-old question of why humans are drawn to create art.

We discuss how art provides you with a way to express the inner part of your being –  a way that traditional forms of communication can’t express. Mama Judy shares how doing art can physiologically change your body, alleviating anxiety and pain. And we both share how creating art can bring you a sense of joy.

We’d love to hear from you… why do YOU do art? 

We hope you enjoy!
