The Jeanne Oliver Podcast

Podcast 054 | The Lies of Perfectionism with Sandi Hester

“I see that it (perfectionism) is a joy stealer, it’s an energy stealer, it steals the ability to think of others first or even at all, and because of that part of the self-focus, it isolates.” 6:05

“The bad speaks so much louder than the good. And when perfectionism and self-worship are present, it gives the bad a lot of power.” 8:14

“We can let perfect keep us from good.” 8:48

“Just say yes and figure it out later.” 21:09

“Perfectionism can show up with over planning, over preparing, and then sometimes never doing because there will always be unknowns.” 21:55

“I think there is something that gets stolen from us when there’s self-worship there at the core.” 30:36

“I think we honor our gifts that we’ve been given by using them and more importantly enjoying them.” 33:19

“You can’t glorify the Lord with your gifts if you’re not using them.” 47:37

Sandi Hester had her first painting lessons around her grandmother’s kitchen table during long summer visits in the countryside of Franklin, Tennessee. Her grandmother was a pottery artist and first exposed Sandi to the feel of a loaded paintbrush sliding across a surface. For Sandi, the subject, color, texture and enjoyment of the creative process are very important.

“I’m always aiming for a looseness - a suggestion of what’s really there. I try to capture the beauty of the scene and the feeling of color and warmth instead of recording the details of the scene. I'm not interested in the exactness - I'm interested in how it makes me feel. Painting this way tells you more about the image or scene than when grasping for the details.” - Sandi Hester
