Handling Fear as an Artist

Take the Leap and Fly graphic by Jen Cushman

This month’s column for CreateMixedMedia.com I’m talking about fear, well more about handling fear by gathering the courage to take a giant leap in your creative journey as an artist.

I share a story in the column about my recent experience of writing a book. Since I don’t want to give it away, you’re going to have to head on over to the website to read more. But I can tell you this, now that my manuscript and images are turned in, I’m breathing a HUGE sigh of relief. It really is a labor of love. So much introspection comes up during the process that there is no way to write a book and not be forever changed by the experience.

Thanks for stopping by today. I truly wish you an Artful day!

  1. Oh Kathy. I know you know what I’m talking about. Your work is too beautiful for you to ever have stayed status quo! Thanks for checking in. Love all your ICE work. :-)

  2. Loved the article, Jen! Thanks for reminding me to challenge myself…even if it is scary! I know from past experiences that the more challenging the project, the more rewarding it is once accomplished.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a reply!
