In this episode of Creative Hearts, I’m talking with Ioana, the artist behind Artizine UK (@artizineuk), about her creative journey and what it really means to become an artist. We dive into how she moved from a corporate life into embracing her true creative self, the challenges she faced, and how vulnerability played a huge role in her growth.

We also chat about the role of community art, zines, and somatic work in her process—and why reconnecting with your inner child can unlock new creative energy. This conversation is all about exploring the creative path, making art for yourself, and finding meaning in the process.

If you’re curious about how creativity can evolve and grow, I think you’ll find this chat really meaningful.
