🎨 An Artist’s Adventure Into Authenticity

An Artist’s Adventure Into Authenticity – Blog Post #1
✨ Authenticity Looks Better in Color
That’s the phrase that’s been guiding me lately — not just in my artwork, but in how I live. This is my authentic artist’s journey.
Hi, I’m Misti — artist, designer, daydreamer, and the heart behind Dressed Up Hippy Art and Designs. This blog, Authentic Artist’s Journey, is a space for me to show up honestly and creatively. It’s about more than the art I make — it’s about the journey of becoming more fully me.
🌿 Why I’m Starting This Blog
Because creativity is personal.
Because art helps me express what words can’t.
Because, for a long time, I held back pieces of who I am — and now I’m ready to step fully into the color.
This blog will be part journal, part behind-the-scenes peek, and part gentle reminder that the process matters. It’s where I’ll share the real story behind the canvas: the missteps, the discoveries, the quiet moments of clarity, and the wild strokes of inspiration.
🖌️ What You’ll Find Here
- Reflections on living and creating authentically
- The stories and emotions behind my designs
- Glimpses into my frog-filled, color-splashed world
- Honest conversations about challenges and courage
- Whimsy, wonder, and a little boho soul
- Authentic artist’s journey
Whether you’re an artist, a fellow creative, or someone finding your way back to your true self — welcome. I hope this space feels like a breath of fresh air, a cozy cup of tea, and a reminder that it’s okay to color outside the lines.
💛 Let’s Begin
Thank you for being here. For reading. For caring. For showing up — whether you’re wearing paint-splattered jeans or a soul full of questions.
Here’s to the adventure of making art, telling the truth, and becoming more ourselves along the way.
With love and paint-stained fingers,
Misti
