Why I don’t like the word 'Art'

Community Matters Media

Have you ever wondered how the label "artist" could shape your entire creative journey? This week, we sit down with Jacqui, a multifaceted creative professional, who challenges the conventional use of the term "art" and explains why she prefers to identify as a "creative." Jacqui opens up about the immense pressure and expectations that come with the title "artist" and shares how redefining herself has empowered her to embrace authenticity and self-expression. Through her candid narrative, Jacqui proves that creativity is not just about the finished product but about the process of discovering and celebrating one's true self.
Jacqui's story is an inspiring testament to the healing and transformative power of creativity. She delves into her personal journey of using creative outlets for emotional resilience and recovery. As she discusses her love for mixed media, sustainability, and various forms of art, she also touches on the importance of recognising one's strengths and weaknesses. Join us as we explore how Jacqui has found her voice, purpose, and wellness through creativity, and learn how you too can harness the power of being true to yourself. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to anyone looking to reframe their relationship with creativity and self-worth.
