How to Discover Yourself as an Artist
This week I share deep thoughts about how to discover yourself as an artist and how to get discovered. I have a video for you and also, some photos of making a recent large oil painting called “Atlantis”.
When I paint, I am an introvert, but after the session, I want to connect with the world.
When the painting is not finished, I may look at it with a very critical eye.
Then I think: Only if you knew what I think, how I feel, and how I have made myself to always reach higher.
This week, I want to tell you. I want to share some things I have found helpful in my artistic career. How I have discovered my artistry and more: how I have got discovered as an artist.

I hope this was helpful. Tell us what you think!
I am always waiting for your comments!

That was excellent. You speak from the heart. Thank you
Thank you, Elizabeth!
I truly appreciate your insights; you expressed complex ideas clearly. 🙂
I often struggle to connect with my artistic side and articulate it. I feel a persistent urge to create art.
Thank you, Marie! I am glad you feel the urge!!
Hi Päivi,
I recently discovered you and your work! I really enjoyed this talk on the artistic and practical sides of ourselves and it really resonated. I recently started painting again after some years and my dream is to make more work and really get into it more. I have spent many years bringing up kids and being a counselor/ hypnotherapist, but would now like to pursue art, which I loved as a child. Thanks for being a wonderful inspiration!
Best wishes, Dawn Gellner
Thank you, Dawn! Welcome to follow and create!
Hi Paivi, i only recently discovered you, and it was on a day when ibfelt open and called for looking atbsome inspiration on collage, patterns and tyen i very randomly found you. I don’t think it was youtube algorithms that brought you to me but rather the synchrocity that my brain was probably seeking in that moment. I was blown away by your talent and the vision your “artistic side” brings forward. I also have painted intuitively a lot. Watching you makes me see it is probably a puzzle we are solving, not knowing our next mive. I’ve sometimes enjoyed and sometimes struggled a lot to finish an intuitive work like that. Lately, my practical side has tried to take charge and i try to paint with some kind of plan in mind, it does not have the freed9m of expression i’ve enjoyed when expressing and making intuitive discoveries which were highly satisfying for my artistic side but extremely frustrating for the practical. So when i discovered you, i felt some of your courses would probably appeal to my artistic side while they are also addressing the skill that my practical side is seeking. Seems like a great offering! I was certainly glad your artistic side decided to create these online offerings that I can access. I haven’t yet gotten a chance to finish through your course i bought, but when i saw your promos and saw you talk, that passion, that childish spark, that visionary madness spoke through in your videos. I sense you are a very generous hearted person with such a wide range of artistic talent, when i first discovered you, you felt among those artists that I say are weaving magic, not just in their work but in their entire personalities! Im not sure how long this invisible magic that has me drawn to your work will last, but i hope I can find enough time to learn and apply some useful skills and thought processes from you, to bring my own un-finished processes to completion..you know the child that has a lot to express but learning to talk takes time and commitment 💗 as you rightly pointed out
Oh Wajiha, thank you for a wonderful comment. It truly touched me. I hope that with the help of my courses, you will get satisfaction for both your artistic and practical side and also have fun and joy in art-making!
Sorry, im looking at my several typos as i spoke/typed my heart’s language very fast! Wrote Mive instead of Move etc. I meant to say I was certainly glad your [××××artistic side] ” PRACTICAL side decided to create these online offerings that I can access 🙂
