The Unexpected Gypsy | How to NOT be insecure! @theunexpectedgypsy | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
What actually is a 'real,' artist, a 'proper,' artist a true creative? What makes an artist an artist? I get this question regularly as it comes up for a lot of creative souls. Is it simply about whether an artist is a professional artist, as in; they do it full-time and make a living at doing it? Therefore it is their work. I think it's more complicated than that... This week I've been soul-searching & exploring this in great depth and am sharing all in this video. My conclusion are shared here and I also came up with five main qualities that define a true creative. I truly hope not to offend anyone, these are simply my own opinions. See what you think and let's continue this interesting topic in the comments below. Thanks, as always for watching & keeping me company on this wild journey we call life! Biggest loves & softest hugs, Wendy. Xxx
