Artist Members Share The Core Beliefs That Impact Their Art

By Renee Phillips Leave a Comment

Our core beliefs and philosophies impact our views of the world, our decisions, priorities, how we communicate and deal with challenges, triumphs and tribulations. For artists, the beliefs they choose have a powerful impact on their creative visions and finished works of art. Eager to learn and share more information about our incredible artist members, in 2021 we asked them to comment on this topic. With great pleasure we present this article “Artist Members Share The Core Beliefs That Impact Their Art”.

As you read their statements and view their art I’m sure you’ll encounter kindred spirits. To learn more about them and their art please visit their pages and websites and contact them directly to purchase their work.

Are you wondering what core beliefs guide and impact the direction of The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS? You’ll find out at the end of the article.

Inspiration is an endless wellspring from within my spirit, a belief in the interconnectedness of all things.

Being grateful for every day of life by enjoying the beauty of the day, regardless of whether the sun is shining or it’s raining or snowing, cold or hot, is the philosophy that guides my creativity. As the changing light of the day bathes objects in diverse colors, my observational skills get challenged to find the new, exciting, and unique around me. My creativity extends to my lifelong interest in the world’s cultures and the conservation of wildlife that I continue to pursue by documenting them with my camera, searching to improve my understanding and appreciation of both.


What We Believe

The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS is a growing community of like-minded people who share the belief that art can serve as a catalyst for healing individuals, society and the environment, and that art can raise awareness and lift our spirits. We believe art is a powerful catalyst for positive change in the world.  In the words of Margaret Mead, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has”.  That’s the kind of belief and wisdom that guides our online art gallery, articles about art and healing, and our online art exhibitions.

Thank you for visiting and being a part of our growing community.
