Are you afraid to come out of the art closet?  I get it — I’ve been there. I was scared to call myself an artist and open myself to the eye-rolls and the “Get a real job” comments. But you know what’s on the other side of that fear? So many amazing things.  That’s what guest Christen Horner and I get into for her interview on the Honest Art Podcast. Her story is amazing, and she’s been right where you are: Struggling to identify as an artist and really lean into that identity. I hope she inspires you as much as she’s inspired me!
