260: How to Stand Out as an Artist: The Part of You You've Been Leaving Out

Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast. In this guest episode, my friend Hannah Katherine, a fine artist and board-certified behavior analyst, shares what happened when she stopped trying to sound like everyone else and started showing up in her real voice. If you've been wondering how to stand out as an artist, her story is a reminder that your differentiation isn't something you need to manufacture. Sometimes it's the part of yourself you've been leaving out of your marketing.   This conversation is for artists, creators, and anyone who considers what they do a creative process. Hannah was one of my coaching clients, and she shares how one moment in our work changed her coordinates. She had been keeping her professional side and her messy artist side in separate boxes. Once she brought them together, her following grew 10x, and opportunities like a hospital exhibition and a commercial licensing opportunity started finding her. We also talk about how she found her signature art style, the scavenger hunt cards she created to help people look at art more deeply, and why she believes you can call yourself an artist before you are full-time.
