042 Discover Your Identity as an Artist - Step 1 of 5


Listen Later

In this episode, we revisit the conversation from episode 40 where we shared the five ingredients for turning your art hobby into a fulfilling art business.

 

Laura and Ros big deeper and chat specifically on the topic of how to find your identity as an artist, find your style, create a volume of work and refine your technique.

 

We talk through the reasons why artists may seek an art style that is recognisable as their own. Laura describes this as a journey of self discovery and a way to gain clarity and direction. Ros adds that your voice as an artist is more than an aesthetic style, it also relates to the message you want to convey and the impact you want your art to have on the world.

 

Laura notes that while the stage of finding your style is a fun one, once you have hit your stride as an artist and built your confidence, it is important not to get stuck in the learning phase. The goal must then become to put your learning into practice.

 

We share these steps for finding your identity as an artist:

 

  1. Set your intentions
  • Do some practical prioritisation - consider your routine, time blocking, boundaries
  • Do the work with awareness around your motivators and how you work best
  • Consider developing a portfolio
  • Do some reflection - journaling/talking
  •  

    The key tawaway we would like you to gain from the episode is the importance of having clear intentions, committing to them and showing up. These are the factors that will have you making traction
