Recovering From Creative Burnout

Nadya Primak

It might surprise some people reading this, because I’ve been publishing these blog posts every week for a month or two now, but I have been recovering from creative burnout for quite some time.

Can Artists Write Code? Artechouse DC Review

Nadya Primak

My first visit to Artechouse was early this year, around January or February. I’ve visited a second time since then but I want to talk about the first time I visited, because the exhibit was more down my alley and also because I think first impressions tend to be the most vivid. It’s an incredible […]
