“What I find the most challenging is falling in love with uncertainty and appreciating uncomfortable experiences while they are actually happening. Pursuing art requires immense faith and trust that things are always falling into place even if we can’t see beyond what’s happening in the present moment. Everything we do simultaneously matters and doesn’t matter. Honoring the unknowable and the mysterious is what counts in a world where there is so much emphasis on knowing everything. Taking this path means doing your best to move through excruciating doubt, pain, and disappointment gracefully – all the while knowing that there is intelligence behind every emotion even if it’s difficult to articulate. Being an artist also requires that you orient yourself towards discomfort as frequently as possible because that’s where true growth happens.”
