    What Happens When You Stop Hiding Your Story as an Artist

    Artist Jeannie Motherwell

    What is the pivotal moment in many art careers that artists often overlook?

    The author's appreciation for Jeannie Motherwell's journey and story stems from the privilege of working with many artists, but Jeannie’s journey, in particular, stands out. There’s a quiet courage in choosing to tell the truth about who you are, especially after years of holding part of it back. The author is proud of how Jeannie has stepped fully into her work and story, considering it an honor to witness. (P.S. If you’re at a similar crossroads in your own work and want focused, one-on-one support, you can learn more about working with me here: https://theworkingartist.com/just-you-me/ PPS.
