Your Creative Push

Your Creative Push is the podcast that pushes YOU to pursue your creative passion, even though you have a busy, full-time life. Twice a week, Youngman Brown interviews artists, musicians, writers, photographers, graphic designers, and other inspirational creative individuals in an attempt to get them to inspire you to put aside your excuses and START DOING WORK. Each artist opens up to YOU, revealing the things that hold THEM back on a daily basis, and how they FIGHT THROUGH IT. They then give you one final push, in an attempt to motivate you to start doing work as soon as the episode is over. If you have a full-time job or full-time responsibilities and WISH that you had the COURAGE and MOTIVATION to FINALLY do that thing that has been on your mind, this podcast is for you!

In this episode, Christina discusses:

-How she became interested in art.

-Starting out as an Art Therapy major in college and the decision to become a Fine Art major.

-What led her to decide to become an art teacher.

-Not getting to her personal work for a long period of time because she was so focused on developing her skills as an art teacher.

-The “false starts” that occurred while creating the illustrations for The Adventures of Tidy, Messy & VeryMessy.

-How to determine whether you are dissatisfied with your progress because it isn’t right or because you are a perfectionist.

-Her breakthrough in illustrating The Adventures of Tidy, Messy & VeryMessy in which she completely changed things up and worked with a new medium.

-What was different about one particular summer in which she and her husband created more than any summer before.

-The creative inspiration that she gets from her husband.

-Dealing with a lack of confidence, especially after a long period of not creating.

Christina's Final Push will inspire you to put a little bit of time each day into your art, especially if it is something that is fun and makes you feel good.

Quotes:

“I had at least seven or eight false starts.”

“You’ve got to find something that makes you feel good while you do it.”

“I give teaching 100% of me so I don’t allow as much time for myself in my own creating.”

“During that period of not creating, you lose confidence, big time.”
