The Mindful Creatives Community

Enjoy Your Artist's Journey

"Mindful Creatives understand the creative struggles and find the Joy in creativity"

Founder

James Barker

My Artist's Journey took a while to get moving. I hadn't realised how limiting beliefs had stopped me from enjoying my creativity. The false belief that art was about creating finished pieces lead to me creating just two paintings in a 20 year period!

Once I understood a few simple mindset changes my life as an artist began. I started practices that would help to minimise those false beliefs. I embraced my inner critic and befriended my Imposter syndrome.

If you struggle with perfectionism or imposter syndrome you are not alone. If you want to enjoy your creativity more and love your artist's journey then join our friendly, safe and supportive community of fellow creatives.
