SLEA Labyrinth –> Procrastination
Why am I procrastinating?
“We don’t abandon our pursuits because we despair of ever perfecting them.” — Epictetus (the Daily Stoic)
Choices, Investigation, and Perfectionism
I am currently working on completing this project for my grant, but confronting self-doubt. The self-doubt I find is almost as hard to overcome as the desire for perfection and overthinking.
I’m a Minneapolis-based artist working in watercolor, gouache, oil, drawing, and mixed media.
After teaching art and design for many years, I returned to making art fully. These days, I spend my time drawing, painting, experimenting, and paying attention to what shows up.
I often work small. My work moves between observation, memory, and imagination. Some pieces lean surreal. Some stay close to what is seen. What interests me is what begins to emerge when I stay with the work long enough.
On my blog, you’ll find both my artwork and my reflections. I’ve come to see they are connected. What I learn in the studio often changes how I see my life, my relationships, and my community. In that way, art has become more than making objects — it has become a way of understanding and being in the world.

One thought on “SLEA Labyrinth –> Procrastination”
In spite of self doubt, procrastination, perfection and for sure overthinking, you will do this because that is what you do know. And all the above will keep you company.
