Art and anxiety: trust the process
Laura Tinald
Artist and Illustrator
Working as a freelance illustrator since 2009, Laura has enjoyed creating portraits for a wide variety of brands and clients. But, they say an artist’s biggest critic is usually themselves, and in Laura’s case this is true.
With social media serving up perfect studios and processes, it can seem that every artist has their process nailed. But Instagram isn’t a reflection of reality, and for Laura, the panic is real. While the end result of her efforts can be beautiful, her process doesn’t always feel reel-worthy.
From idea through to painting and finding the balance of showcasing vs creating, Laura will discuss her process and how she tackles her inner critic along the way.
