Yesterday I went to a workshop that is literally called “Social Media Aversion Therapy” with .ellen.anderson. When I read the course description, it felt like someone had been spying on my thoughts! It’s so common for artists to be shy about showing their face. Or to have some complicated feelings about social media in general. Or to get so caught up in overthinking that we neglect to post much at all. (🙋🏻♀️guilty on all counts) When I think about what I want for this space, ultimately I want it to be a place for you to connect with the beauty of flowers and the joy they bring, to follow your curiosity about how these big events come together, and to feel welcome and at ease. I’m going to be trying hard to show up here more often in an effort to meet those goals in a way that feels authentic and not subservient to the algorithm. I hope you’ll join me! Also, if you are an artist and have a chance to learn from .ellen.anderson , you should absolutely jump at the chance. She is thoughtful and kind in her approach while challenging the kind of thinking that gets you stuck. Even if you just start by giving her a follow and signing up for emails, you won’t regret it!
