When approaching the making of new piece of art, we want to be in tune with our higher selves as much as possible, to be conscious of what we are about to do. Feel the love resonating in our hearts and open our minds and keep them open to the infinite possibilities that await us, think about what it is we really want to put our energy into, keep it simple with achievable goals. We are aiming to integrate original thought and intuition to become part of our decision making processes. We invite in divine energy to flow through us. All our experiences, formative years, conditioning, and emotions will come into play with the way this energy is effected, to bring about our unique perspective of the world and the way we perceive all the things in it. We free ourselves from all our negative social stereo types about art or artists, (e.g. art is dead, art is for the rich, suffering for your art, tortured soul, paint on our shoes, identifying with certain political groups or fashions, to prove to ourselves that we are what we think an artist or art should be), and instead encourage self empowerment and individuality through our discovery and adventure of what art really is to us. With a positive approach to life and art we can thus push the boundaries into new territories or languages with our distinctive personal styles. What comes out of us can be a pure reflection of god, filtered through our souls. However, realistically, most of us are still trying to find the pathway that leads to the road towards perfection and so we must enjoy the journey as much as the final out come.
