Growing Your Artist Self with Melanie West

Do you see yourself as an artist? Why or why not? Do you give your artistic self the permission, love, and priority in your life that it deserves and that you need?

The conversation today is centered around the idea of becoming or growing as an artist and really owning the idea of what that means so you can pursue a fullfilling and successful artistic life.

My guest, Melanie West, an artist with a chronic case of curiosity, doesn’t define her artistic identity by any one of the wide variety of mediums she works in. She has not, however, always identified as artist regardless of working artistically from a very young age. She joined me to share thoughts and stories and to get you thinking about what kind of growth and understanding of your artistic self you need for your version of artistic success.
