The Myth of Needing
Inspiration to Create

If you have been waiting to feel inspired before you create, this video will change the way you think.

In this practical and heartfelt conversation, Claudia Erzinger, Executive Director of the Center for Creative Exploration, and Maria Freebairn-Smith, Outreach Director, introduce the practice of Intuitive Painting and explore a powerful truth:

You do not need inspiration to begin.

Whether you are an experienced artist or have never picked up a brush, you will discover:

  • How to start even when you are not feeling inspired

  • What to do when you are staring at a blank page and your mind says, “I do not know where to begin”

  • How to quiet the inner critic that tells you you are not creative or not doing it right
