You were born for this

As an artist, the only thing you need to qualify is the desire to create, that’s it. I’m here to talk to the number of you who know you were BORN for this, like,“this is my life’s mission”, kinda vibe.

There are two ways to create art

You can create art from the directions of your mind OR you can make art by tapping into the pure channel of your heart. I recommend the latter- here’s why.

Art from the heart

I would arguably say that art created from the mind isn’t really art. It may be beautiful and well put together, but to me art is an expression of one’s self, and unless your goal is expressing how well you can color in the lines and pick a beautiful subject- you’re not really expressing much. When we tap into the infinite expression of our heart we are starting to curate true art (again, in my opinion). Art made from a heart centered place is often felt more supernaturally from the audience. It’s like when a dancer is truly dancing the pain of the chords they feel in the song; you can feel when the dancer can feel the music. Anyone can learn choreography- but not everyone sees the value of operating from the heart. Another example is when you’re deeply immersed in singing a song to your partner(s)- you sing from your heart, you don’t just stare blankly mumbling the lyrics. True art is the expression behind the dance, the expression behind the song, the expression behind the painting. What are you expressing?

It can be easy to get stuck at this point

Have you ever chased a creative idea? My gosh, this can be the most draining loop. Chasing the next best idea that people will like. Chasing the next creative idea to express your politics. You name it. If you’re not connected with yourself, your expression is going to (I say gently) 💞suck💞

Why your connection to self is KEY in art

So we agree, true art is expression, and when you're not connected to yourself your expression is severed. You can still produce art, but generally when I make art from a disconnected place, I don’t ever like it much. Even if you’re not in the best place in your life, you can still connect with yourself. Art is often made in very difficult times. Why are they so inspiring and✨ sexy✨ ugh I love/hate it. No matter how life is going, we always have the power to tap into our inner wisdom and guidance.

Expression in many forms

Your area of focus could be any. So keep these five things in mind as you hit moments of hardship and growth in your art journey and journey of expressing yourself.

1.Maintain a connection to yourself and a high power

2.Reprogram your limiting beliefs

3.Call yourself out when you self sabotage

4. Share the art

5.Don’t expect anything from your art except expression
