Embracing Who You Really Are with Robin Colton
There’s so much potential in the world … you have to have the confidence to take yourself seriously. There will be people that have thoughts about what you are doing with your life or career, but it is your responsibility to yourself to know what it means to you, and your life, and to move on from there. In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure to talk with Robin Colton, an Artist and Illustrator driven by her explorations into femininity and what it means to be a Woman; to express herself, experience the world, and move through life as a woman. Robin talks about how she came to be an artist and how she’s found her way as well as imposter syndrome and how it relates to art. We also discussed how Robin balances the creative side with the business side of her business and what her creative process looks like. This episode highlights what it means to recognize and embrace who you really are and I hope you do the same for yourself. Let Robin and I know you listened by tagging us on Instagram - @robincoltonartist and @thelifeeclecticpod. Find out more about today’s guest, Robin Colton: Robin Colton is an Artist and Illustrator driven by her explorations into femininity and what it means to be a Woman; to express herself, experience the world, and move through life as a woman. Her work is inspired by her experiences and emotions, travels, film, fashion, and architecture. Taking her experiences into consideration, she allows herself to express and create for the sake of expression and creation — her brushes and pens allow her to get out of her head and into the depths of her soul. Stepping into this next chapter of her life, she has emerged from her darkest times with the insatiable urge to express herself, to be seen. Knowing that it is her purpose to find and use her voice, her art has transformed from a means for survival into her healing journey as she continues discovering and growing into all the layers of herself in her femininity and as a woman. Colton grew up in Paradise Valley, Arizona, spent 13 years in Seattle, Washington raising her daughter with her husband Mykol, and currently resides in Austin, Texas. Robin has received degrees and worked for decades in the fields of both Fashion Design and Interior Design. A visual communicator at heart, she stepped into her role as a full-time Artist and Illustrator in 2021. Website: https://www.robincolton.com/ Instagram: @robincoltonartist
