Everyone can create art. Yes YOU too. 55 ways to be an Artist

It drives me crazy when people tell me they aren’t creative or can’t create art. Because it’s simply NOT true. 

I’m going to make a very rare blanket statement. They are wrong. A Sagittarius being bossy?! Shocking. 😂

I’m just saying, I know that everyone has art inside of them. We just need to access it. 

You don’t need permission.

You don’t need fancy supplies.

You don’t even need to be “good.”

You just need to remember that your soul came here to express. To make beauty out of chaos. To tell the truth in a language only you speak. That’s what art is.

Art is resistance.

Art is remembrance.

And you love,  are an artist.

Let me show you.

🌀 Energetic & Subtle Art

That’s only 55 but there are alot more. Art isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real.

It’s about responding to a world on fire with beauty, with truth, with soul.

Every act of creation is a refusal to be silenced.

So write the poem. Paint the protest. Style your joy.

Whatever you do, do it like it matters.

Because it does.

And so do you.

You are an artist. The world needs your vision now more than ever. Start with what you have where you are. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to begin. 

In Peace, Love, Light and Art, xo Donna
