When Is a Person an Artist? | #ArtIdentity Ep. 017
In this episode, we explore what it means to be an artist and the journey of owning that title. Inspired by my own experiences and the story of a close friend, we dive into questions around identity, self-worth, and the desire for validation. I share insights on the distinction between “artist” and “professional artist,” as well as the armor we sometimes wear to feel secure in our creativity.

Artist (noun):
"One who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination."

3. "A skilled performer, especially a musical or theatrical entertainer."
