Episode 02: How to Know if You're a Real Artist

Do you have what it takes to become an artist?    Almost 20 years ago, I didn't think I did. I didn't go to art school, and I didn't even start painting until I was 35. Even after years of selling my work in stores, I still couldn't bring myself to brand myself as an artist.    And now? I own a 6-figure art biz, I get to do what I love every day, and I get to teach other people how to do it. It just goes to show you that it's never too late to start showing up to do the work that YOU love.    If you want to hear my story about how I broke into the art world with absolutely ZERO idea of what I was doing, tune in.    We'll cover:    How our past experiences with art can cloud our judgment How I sold my first pieces Identifying as an artist, even while it's a side hustle Believing what society says about being an artist Carving out whitespace in your schedule to start making art   If you're excited to come along on this journey with me, make sure to subscribe to this podcast, and don't forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king.   Interested in being a guest on a future episode of Honest Art?
