002 | SHOULD ARTISTS DO ONE THING WELL? WITH GUEST AIMEE MCNEE
This episode of Beyond The Masterpiece was just so inspiring to record! As artists, we often hear the message that it's best to "do one thing well". It's compelling, it seems to make sense and it sounds efficient. But, and it's a big but, it just doesn't work that way for many of us. A lot of us are multi-passionate humans and our creativity reflects that. In this episode I speak to artist, author and creative coach Aimee McNee aka Inspired To Write, about the challenges and myths around doing one thing well.
