From Burnout to Breakthrough: Rediscovering Creativity
After months of creative struggle and personal loss, including the passing of my dog—the inspiration behind my Animal Behaviour series—I found a way back through international art competitions. What began as a search for motivation became a turning point, leading to some of the best work I’ve ever created and a renewed passion for illustration. In this talk at Larissa ComicCon, I shared how setbacks can spark inspiration, and how preparation, persistence, and emotion all shape the creative journey.
