This week on Honestly, Dear Listener, we’re delving into the concept of Shadow Artists. In her bestselling book on creativity, The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron introduces the “Shadow Artist,” someone who is deeply connected to the arts but isn’t fully expressing their own creative potential. She goes on to describe Shadow Artists as individuals who are often attracted to creative fields but remain on the sidelines, assisting or supporting other artists rather than pursuing their own creative endeavors. They might be surrounded by creativity, but they feel blocked, afraid, or unable to fully step into their own creative path.
