The Artist Is.....

The passion to create art brings with itself an unimaginable power of healing and beauty. Creativity can be seen as the greatest prayer as it connects us directly to a higher consciousness.Tapping in its resources requires faith in our ability to be actively patient. It requires confidence in the path that is revealing itself to us in, sometimes, mysterious ways.

 For art to be great, it has to come from truth. 
Truth is contained within experiences of contrast and unconditional love for life. It transforms the artist into...

A collector and a collection

          An seeker and a discovery

                A medium and a meaning

                        A channel and a creation

                              A response and a question

                        A mirror and a source

               A catalyst and a comforter

          A leader and a disciple

 A rebel and a change

Life - Transforming Questions

If the quality of our life depends on the decisions we make. And the quality of our decisions is largely determined by the quality of the questions we ask, what are the questions that could lead us to the greatest breakthrough in life? Here is a (never complete) collection of questions I believe can assist you in moving forward and transforming your life. You don't have to try and answer all of them. Instead, feel free to browse through the list and contemplate the questions that resonate with you at this moment. The questions might be used also as journal prompters and in practising meditation. What do you stand for? What person do you wish to become? If thoughts shape reality, what would you like to think about that would help you move forward? If you'd have to do the impossible with nothing, where would you start? Who are you without the doing? Who are you when you just are? If you could re-imagine and transform their life just by visualizing and thinking, wha

Why Bother Making Art?

Art is the highest form of hope and the boldest form of self-expression. Creativity - the greatest rebellion in existence. It takes courage to create and share our work.  Both art and creativity are based on transgression and rooted in possibility. Their right of existence lies in providing an opportunity for a space to shape itself around a concept.  Artistic work is both a matter of survival and a chance to learn how to live, achieving inner stability and restoring the connection with the core of our being. We go through a fragile process of filtering perceptions, learning, un-learning and re-learning how to listen, look and see before giving birth to new realities. We allow ourselves to become who we are. "Art-making is not about telling the truth but making the truth felt."-  Christian Boltanski Yet both vulnerability and authenticity require practice. Exposing the core of our being to a world of friends and strangers to love, criticize or ignore is never simple

To Transform Yourself is To Transform Everything

The ability to transform ourselves holds the key to transforming what is around us. If we view life as a series of collisions with the future, then it does make sense to explore in more depth what is and cultivate a greater clarity of what we desire. It also seems wise to remove any obstacles in order to allow what we have envisioned to find us. "The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas." - Terrence McKenna Stirring mental waters until new islands of awakening start emerging is not for those prepared to explore familiar landscapes only. Ultimately, many are not here to follow the rules of someone else's game but to craft a whole new one of their own. A new game begins by learning to look at things from a fresh perspective and asking new questions . To put it shortly, it all begins with allowing your creativity to find you. Courting it, inviting it to join
