Have you ever looked at your own artwork and wondered, “Who the hell let me call myself an artist?”
In Episode 5 of The Imperfect Palette, we’re talking about imposter syndrome and that strange battle between insecurity and ego. The feeling that you don’t belong, questioning whether you’re actually good enough, second-guessing compliments, and somehow convincing yourself that one bad painting means you’ve forgotten how to paint.
I get personal about my own experience with imposter syndrome, what it feels like when your identity becomes tied to your artwork, and why even years of experience don’t necessarily make that voice disappear.
If you’re an artist, creative, or anyone who’s ever questioned whether you really belong where you are, this one’s for you.
