These Artist Affirmation Cards are part of The Real Work of Art, a body of writing and practice for artists committed to staying with the work, arriving at thresholds and returning despite setbacks to make art anyway.

This is not a motivational deck. There are no promises of success, productivity, or certainty.

Instead, these cards offer steady language and support for artists navigating the long, often unseen work of practice, especially in the in-between spaces between one body of work and the next.

Inside this digital set you’ll find:

• 36 artist affirmations

• Organised around return, persistence, permission, and identity

• Designed to be used slowly and repeatedly

• A gentle guide on how to work with the cards

BONUS!

• 30 Self Love Affirmation Cards, to use alongside the work.

These affirmations are for artists who need permission to begin again, to work quietly, and to trust the long walk of their creative life.

What You’ll Receive:

• Printable PDF (A4, 4 pages – 9 cards per page)

• Instant digital download

• Printable PDF Bonus Pages - Self Love Affirmations

Who This Is For:

• Artists and makers

• Creatives navigating doubt or quiet seasons

• Those returning to practice after interruption

• Artists who find themselves at a threshold

• Anyone who needs language that steadies rather than pushes
