In this seventh class in the “Navigate the Creative Wilderness” series, “Tips to Stop Hiding Your Creative Work” you will learn my main tips to regain confidence in yourself and your creative work when you feel like hiding from the world, turning inward, and stepping away from your creative process. These tips will help you use pauses in your creative journey intentionally to regain energy in order to move forward with more confidence, momentum, and trust in your path.

This class is the seventh episode in the “Navigate the Creative Wilderness” series. I recommend starting with the first class in the series, “5 Tools to Cultivate Confidence,” but feel free to jump into any class in the series and go in the order that makes the most sense for your journey. 

Throughout the entirety of this series, you can expect to learn actionable tips to implement on your path to cultivate more confidence in your creative intuition, overcome the fear of unknowns, build support with a creative community, stay consistent with your practice, and celebrate your successes.

Hi! I'm Liz, your trail guide and buddy out here in the Creative Wilderness! I dove deep into the Creative Wilderness when I started my business, Prints & Plants, in 2017. 

Since starting my business, I have worked as an educator and licensed artist with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, crafted a mural for an international social media firm, created brands and illustrations for multiple businesses, and become a Top Teacher on Skillshare.

It has been a *winding* journey to get to where I am now, and I know it will continue to evolve and shift over time! 

That’s why now, I am so excited to share my field notes from the Creative Wilderness with you in this series in the hopes that it helps you navigate the highs, the lows, and the unknowns of your unique path.
