An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known. This makes life lovely and lively.
Julia Cameron
Image
I am breathing in and out. Realizing this, I began to notice that each moment was not without its beauty.
Julia Cameron
Image
The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist. The need to produce a great work of art makes it hard to produce any art at all. . . Fear is what blocks an artist. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of not finishing. The fear of failure and of success. The fear of beginning at all.

Julia Cameron
Image
Creativity is a spiritual issue.
Julia Cameron
Image
But do you know how old I will be by the time I learn to really play the piano / act / paint / write a decent play? Yes . . . the same age you will be if you don't.
Julia Cameron
Image
We always do the best we can by the light we have to see by.
Julia Cameron
Image
Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage.
Julia Cameron
Image
When we walk, the two halves of our brains converse.
Julia Cameron
Image
As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
Julia Cameron
Image
We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook - if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for being available to what is trying to bubble up today.

Often it is tenacity, not talent, that rules the day.
