This ❤ as well I have similar list and only last year I wrote online and admitted to myself that I'm an artist! BUT I'm still dealing in my head that being an artist and not wanting to make it my job is somehow making me less artist than others... I really think the word artist has a heavy weight and the way we are taught in school have an huge influence in our perception, seems that only those considered illuminati and genius can be called artists 👀 unlearning all this is important to finally accept us as artists, no matter what others may think and/or say. It all starts in us.
I think there’s this romanticization that only artists who put art above all else can be artists (like making it one’s job)—which is quite an outdated and patriarchal way of looking at things! We can shift the perception of who and what makes an artist, starting with accepting it for ourselves 💛
