    And be sure to check out the show notes to grab heARTwork’s Creative Permission Slip. Too often when we create we are doing it for the sake of other's wants, needs, or goals. In this guide, we will work to create our own creative opportunities so that we grant ourselves permission to be abstract while simultaneously holding ourselves to a habitual practice of expression.
