Yesterday, at my friend’s housewarming party, I had the pleasure of meeting a new (to me), wonderful artist—someone with a long background in both making art and guiding others on their creative paths.
While chatting, I found myself admitting that I’ve been struggling with an artist’s block since last October, right after having two of my works in an exhibition in Paris. But during the evening, something started to shift—at least in thought. I realized I haven’t been entirely without art.
Next to my desk, I’ve had a roll of paper constantly out, and over time I’ve started doodling on it—nothing planned, just spontaneous marks, lines, ideas. It’s been a quiet overflow for my creativity and deep focus during this blocked season.
Maybe the block will lift, maybe it won’t. But for now, I’ll keep doodling—proudly (no longer sheepishly).
P.S. This thing is, by accident, turning into a Kalevala-inspired mandala. Who knew?
