Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I really an artist?”
I explore that question through a deeper and more personal lens in this video. I talk about the difference between creativity and art, the weight of cultural expectations, the hidden impact of social media, and how imposter syndrome often lingers—no matter how much we create or share.
You’ll hear about my journey, including reflections on art school, craft vs art, and the quiet doubts many of us carry. If you’ve ever felt unsure about calling yourself an artist, this video is for you.
Most importantly, I’ll share why being an artist isn’t about recognition or sales—but about expressing something that matters to you.
And maybe it is about enjoying the process more than chasing perfection.
In the comments, let me know what being an artist means to you?
Let's discuss this while I paint this portrait from a photo by Sawyer G on Museum.
