Ep. 49 - Mindful Materials: How to Connect with Your Art Tools and Mediums

This episode is about paying attention to the tools and materials you use every day in your creative work. How do you reach for them? How do you avoid them? And what does that say about your process? I share how my own relationship with materials shifted from “just getting the idea out” to letting the materials themselves shape the work.

We’ll talk about habits you might not even notice, why “saving the good paper” can hold you back, and how to reconnect with your tools in small, low-pressure ways. Whether you work with paint, clay, thread, or a digital stylus, this is about noticing how you show up when you createand what opens up when you do.
