Nurturing Art

Interview with Elspeth McLean

“… Acknowledge these “blurts” of negativity that is the inner-critic, and rewrite them into a positive statement.”

“When we re-engage with the free-flowing creativity that we knew as children… we will reignite the inner artist.”

“Nobody plays the piano right the first time. It all takes practice.”

“[Artists] have the chance to change the world by portraying images of how life could be and how it should be.”

“As soon as I am ‘in the flow’ I am a much better person to be around, and my mood lifts, and I feel ‘myself’ again.”

“A word to any young artists who are attracted to transcendent art: much more important than talent is tenacity.”

“I don’t have an inner critic any more. Really, he got sacked. Who needs the angst?”

“I support people in really listening to their inner beings so they can live the most fulfilling lives that they are able to live.”

“The creative process and metaphysical explorations have taken me on many wondrous adventures.”
