The Artist Manifesto

This is it. NO TURNING BACK. No excuses, no delays. Time to sit down and focus. To show up and create. To paint and play and craft. To DREAM and vision-cast.


To make all things new.


This is beauty in action. Life in full swing. THIS IS ART.


There are no ringside seats or sick days. Everyone must play. No second chances. You only get one shot. All you have is today.


THE TIME IS NOW. To inspire wonder and awe. To speak up in a world fast asleep at the wheel.


We’re counting on you. To be creative. To AWAKEN our souls with beauty. To use your heart and hands to bring meaning back into the universe.


Because without you we are all lost.


Life makes no sense without prophets and poets.


We need you to DO THE WORK and honor your call. To tap into the Muse and find your voice.


We cannot do this alone. We have lost the child-within. That part of us content to stare at clouds — at home with magic and mystery. We need your help to find her. So that we can dance and laugh and sing. So that we can BE WHOLE once again.
