The 18 Artist Archetypes →


Writer

Amie McNee

Summary

Amie explores the concept of artist archetypes - universal, recurring themes or characters that represent different creative personalities and approaches. She identifies 18 archetypes, from The Child (playful, joyful, yet easily distracted) to The Warrior (determined, constantly pushing forward but at risk of burnout). Amie invites readers to reflect on which archetypes resonate with their creative selves, recognizing both strengths and growth areas within each archetype. The essay aims to provide a framework for self-understanding and personal development as an artist, embracing the fluidity and nuances of creative identity.
