Cross pollination: Art begets art.

by Sandra Walter April 29, 2010

Let’s face it; if you are an artist, you are dedicated to a lifetime of learning. You’ll never reach a point where you know everything there is to know about your craft. A creative life demands a youthful curiosity, and an appreciation that art is a limitless adventure which we cannot complete in a lifetime.

Empower yourself

by Sandra Walter April 5, 2010

No act of creation goes unnoticed. Whether it’s a sculpture made in your quiet studio or a monologue rehearsed to an empty theater, your  expression activates the law of attraction. Like attracts like. Your art magnetizes more creativity to your creative power with each action you take. It broadens your creative bandwidth. And what could [...]

Why use the Creator State?

by Sandra Walter April 1, 2010

Reason #1
There is enough mediocrity in the arts and entertainment world. Show us the real thing! Good art is contagious; spread a killer outbreak of brilliance!
Reason #2
You have a unique interpretation to share with the world. You don’t know who your work will affect; art is mystical in this way. You cannot spend time trying [...]
