Hi Christine, thank you so much for your comment. Many of our students struggle with the inner critic – you’re not alone. Here are two additional blog posts that may support you with this, we hope that they help!:

What’s the point in making my art? Who really cares? Does it matter? I would appreciate your thoughts.

Hi Donna! Thank you so much for sharing this. I can say I am guilty of doing the same exact thing – we can change our tunes together. 🙂 We are ARTIST!

I say that to myself as well, but I think I’m going * to change my tune .. I have spent my entire life creating or making something…from crafting, sewing, painting , singing, cooking,etc. all things I loved to do and needed to do for my well-being.
I didn’t do it for self glorification, just because I had to for myself.
Thanks for that inspiring article.
