The Artist Is In

The Artist Is In is a podcast where real, honest conversations about art, creativity, and becoming come to life. Hosted by abstract artist Kat Collins and co-host abstract and collage artist Nina Boodhansingh, this show is a welcoming space for artists at every stage of the journey—whether you're just starting out, deep in the messy middle, or finding your way back to the canvas.

Each episode dives into the heart of what it means to live a creative life. Through thoughtful interviews and two artists reflections, The Artist Is In explores the beauty, grit, doubt, joy, and transformation that shape our art and our stories. You’ll hear from emerging and seasoned artists, makers, and creative souls who are willing to pull back the curtain and share the truth behind their process—the pivots, the breakthroughs, the quiet victories, and the lessons learned along the way.

With themes that invite you to let go, to evolve, to listen to your intuition, and to trust your own becoming, this podcast isn’t about finding the "right" path—it’s about discovering yours.

Whether you’re painting, walking, or simply catching your breath between life’s commitments, The Artist Is In is your invitation to join the conversation—to feel seen, supported, and reminded that you are already an artist because you create.

New episodes drop regularly and are always infused with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for the creative process.

Come find us at **www.katcollinsstudio.com/podcast**—because the artist is in, and you’re already part of the story. Episodes drop every other Thursday!
