How I Fix “Failed” Mixed Media Artwork (Even a Year Later)
This video follows the journey of a series that began as part of a 100-day project using flowers as my subject. What started as daily experimentation turned into something much longer: a process of revisiting, reworking, and transforming pieces over the course of more than a year. If you’ve ever: • Felt like you “ruined” a piece • Didn’t know how to fix something that wasn’t working • Or gotten stuck trying to make something “good” too soon —this video is for you. One of the biggest lessons in my art practice is that making and finishing are two different phases. When I’m creating, I focus on experimenting and playing. The editing—deciding what works and what doesn’t—can come much later. Sometimes much later. ✨ You can always come back and fix it. This channel is about showing up to make art — imperfectly and honestly.
