Erin Oostra is a visual artist, graphic designer and the owner of Nuwavegallery in Ellensburg Washington. We talk about how to recognize how creativity wants to move through your system so that it can flow better, the importance of leaning into creative nudges, and importantly ‘mistakes’ in life and in the art studio. She shares her tips for how to conjure flow states and muses about how though many of us are put into boxes as children in terms of who we ‘are’ whether that’s athlete or artist - how we can question that at any time and begin to try the things we love.

reason that humanity is suffering so much, the reason that we're glitching is because we try to hold back what's trying to move through us, you know, we edit ourselves, we don't want to be weird, we don't want to be the first one to try something new, we don't want to be vulnerable and put on paper or into words or movement, what is really real for us. And so we hold it in, and we try to change its shape, and we try to curate it for the world around us. And then we start to suffer, then we start to feel great pain

There is no other way work of artistic worth can be done. And the occasional success, to the striver, is worth everything. The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave it neither power nor time.

The busy-ness. The never ending to-do list. The anxiousness. The thousand racing thoughts....this self-inflicted chaos, IS WHAT IS preventing you from being able to access your most creative, loving, contented self. Cultivating a harmonious and peaceful, compassionate and loving inner world is easier than you think.
