What would it look like if you had the freedom to express your creativity in the most authentic way possible? No restraints, no “should do’s,” no frameworks. Just pure, honest art. In this week’s episode of the Honest Art Podcast, fellow Artist Nichole Washington and I sit down to discuss just that!  Nichole has had an amazing career, and I’m truly inspired by her work and her spirit. Her work embodies female strength, identity, and spirituality, and inspires other artists to live as their most authentic selves — no matter what anyone else has to say about it! We talk all about why it’s so important to leave the idea of “being artsy” behind, and define what making art means to YOU.  In this episode, we talk about:    Nichole’s journey from “shy kid” to empowering artist Finding your own voice through your art How feeling confident in your work can impact others to do the same Breaking down the “artsy” personality, and why it’s more important to be true to yourself   Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!
