The sweet folks over at @frankiemagazine asked me about my goals for 2022, here’s what I said: ✿
KEEP GROWING: I feel like I’m constantly changing and evolving, which is awesome. I want to keep that up! I want to keep growing, finding my art style, experimenting with different mediums, and sharing S&K. I’d also like to expand the number of products I make. I love our hand-painted homewares so much and I’m in the process of expanding our homewares range. I’m also really enjoying having prints and notepads in the shop and want to keep making more.
COLLABORATE MORE: I cannot explain the feeling I get when I connect with another creative person who compliments my art style and work – it sparks me! I feel so incredibly inspired, energised and in awe of other creatives when we collab on a project or even just have a meeting or a cheeky Zoom call. Collaborating makes me want to make more which is the BEST.
DOCUMENT: My favourite videos to watch on YouTube while I work are studio vlogs by other creatives. I would love to dip into making my own. I want to show more behind-the-scenes things, talk more on Instagram Stories, connect more and film more. It sounds like a lot, but I think I can do it. I also think it will encourage me to keep being creative. I’ll start small by creating mini vlogs on Instagram Reels and TikTok, but I’d really like to eventually make some larger vlogs.
CREATE MORE: I sometimes get stuck in this loop of only creating things that are in demand, and then I get bored, frustrated and creating becomes mundane. I need to remember that it’s OK to make things for myself and that I’m allowed to keep my art. As an artist, you can feel like you’re constantly creating for everyone else and forget to make things for you. In saying that, I feel like if I give myself more creative freedom, I will never get bored of creating for S&K.
