What are some of your current struggles in your creative journey? I know we all battle with the creative block from time to time. Other times we feel motivated to create, but find we just don't have the time or means to forge ahead. I'm interested to hear what you're currently struggling with, so that we can all encourage one another to push through 🙂

How is everyone doing today? I am a little frustrated. Does anyone else also struggle with getting their work into exhibitions/galleries What are some innovate ways to get your work exhibited? Do you end up hosting your own?

Hi, I'm Kirsten. I live in Pietermaritzburg, KZN, South Africa. As an artist I mainly focus on painting with Watercolour but have used quite a variety of mediums in the past, and mainly focus on painting wildlife. I've been going through a bit of a creative dip lately, not sure if that happens to anyone else? But I am hoping to get more motivation to create some more amazing pieces going into 2025!

It is such a relief to finally be part of a creative tribe that understands what I'm about and where I can express myself and share without the fear of being ridiculed. I'm not suggesting that it's the case for everyone here, but you would think that the people closest to me would be supportive of what I do, but that is not the case. Does anyone else go through that as well?
