At moments of reckoning, I believe more than ever in the importance of art. While the world is at the precipice of change, artworks can be maps to help guide humanity forward into positive ways of seeing and being. Throughout history, society has looked to the arts to guide and inspire our personal and cultural narratives. It can start revolutions, shift paradigms, and present paths forward towards wholeness. It can shine light on critical issues and be a grounding touchstone of beauty in an otherwise bleak landscape. It can awaken and empower both the artist and viewer, connecting straight to the emotional subconscious. Art can heal emotional trauma, cure illness, bring renewed vitality, and cultivate joy. Paradoxically, art also has the potential to move mountains. Simply put, a painting is just colourful mud smeared on fabric pretty and frivolous for our fickle amusement.

We can train our steps and get to know the rhythm, but we must also surrender to the divine creative spirit that is coursing through us. When we dance to the tune of inspiration, we must let it lead. These practices are cultivated, not inherent. It is fortified by brave expression, faith in the process, and a willingness to show up and take risks. Though we may look to others for inspiration, guidance, tools, and techniques, the creative path is a solitary one. Only you know what makes your spirit sing, and only you can claim it for yourself.
