Who are you to call yourself an artist?
Let me show you!
Does This Sound Like You?
Do you feel like there's a "checklist" you need to fulfill before you're worthy to call yourself an artist?
Does it seem as if no one supports your desire to make art?
Are you frustrated or uninspired when you sit down to work on a creative project?
And when it comes down to it, do you sometimes wonder, "What's the point, anyway?"
Here's what I want you to know:
Being an artist, making art, following your creative dream... They're about more than producing only what you can sell, or meeting someone else's guidelines of what's "good..."
Many artists and creatives have felt unsupported and even unworthy from time to time. You are not alone.
You can be a happy, inspired, confidently creative being. You are worthy.
Being an artist, making art, following your creative dream... They're about more than producing only what you can sell, or meeting someone else's guidelines for what's "good."
What's on your "checklist"? I'm here to help you disrupt it!

Creativity is a Way of Life
…It’s not limited to making art or music, or writing poetry. It happens in all areas of who we are:
at work, at school, in the kitchen, in the garden.
If you’re craving more of the satisfaction, passion, and joy of creativity in your life,
below are a few ways to start:

Learn and Create with Me
What if you could approach your art-making with joy? What if you could ditch the inner (or outer) judgy voice that discourages you from pursuing your creative projects?
Well, Hello. I'm Heidi Tran.
I'm a mixed-media artist and writer, as well as a
trained Kaizen-Muse creativity coach. In a world
dominated by shoulds and musts, I tend to take a “So what? I’ll do it anyway” approach.
As a recovering harsh self-judge and a multi-passionate pursuer of creative dreams who sometimes hovers on the edge of overwhelm, I understand first-hand how challenging it can be to deal with the busy-ness, crazy-judge-y self-talk and other blocks that keep us from what really fills us with passion and joy—our magic in the world.
In spite of my lifelong passion for creating, I struggled
for years, as many people do, with the question, Who am I to call myself an artist? I've learned, though, that the only answer that matters is, “Me.” I like nothing better than to help others happily arrive there in their own creative lives and show up for themselves as Creative Beings.
