How to handle self-doubt as an artist in 2024 - Ashley Longshore

As our third season comes to an end, we have the honor of having Ashley Longshore as our guest who has some amazing insights for our fellow artists – a perfect way to start the year 2024! In this episode of Arts to Hearts Podcast, our host Charuka Arora asks Ashley about her creative journey, how she overcame self-doubt, and how she found the courage to be her true authentic self. Ashley Longshore is a painter and an entrepreneur who has her very own gallery, Longshore Studio Gallery. With her art centering on women and pop culture, she is one of the few female contemporary artists who are defying conventions and making their own rules. In our latest episode, Ashley talks about how she came to be an entrepreneur, the struggles she faced on the way, and what makes her the happiest. For Ashley, her art is everything. It is what makes her happy and brings her joy, and that is why, staying true to her passion has ultimately rewarded her with success! Following our heart is not something easy, especially for a woman, and Ashley somehow found a way to work on her own terms and drown out the surrounding noise. She chose to trust her own voice, and overcame any and all hurdles that came in her way. From starting out as an artist to building her empire, she has enjoyed every moment of it, and her advice to fellow artists is also to “be true to yourself”. In this episode, she also talks about how other female artists can stand up for themselves and understand their ‘worth’.
