Lovely advice as always Lilla. Lately I’ve been using a Pinterest board as my portfolio, and I love the ease of switching out new work. It seems to fit the immediacy of our new, digital world.
I mean thanks! That was useful!
Thanks1 That was useful!
Super helpful! Really appreciated elaborating on the difference between weak work and exploratation work, it makes that notion very clear, thank you so much! :)
Sorry Lila, :( Lilla :)
Hugely helpful Lila. Once of my challenges has been that I worry I do ‘too much’. Mixed Media, paint, ceramics, sew , embroider . Pulling it all together into a presentable portfolio will be my challenge. So inspired to hear that it’s okay to have more than one creative expression.
