Persistence Over Perfection: The Key to Building a Sustainable Art Practice

Description

Victoria shares why persistence—not perfection—is key to building a sustainable art practice. She encourages artists to release the pressure of rigid routines and instead embrace a flexible, intuitive approach that honors their season of life.

Whether you’re creating in short bursts between responsibilities or deep in studio flow, it all counts. Victoria also highlights artists like Jill McDougall and Brandy Hofer, who model what it means to stay connected to your practice in creative, adaptable ways.

This episode is a gentle reminder that there’s no one “right” way to be an artist—and every small act of showing up matters.
