"LEARNING TO CREATE ART THROUGH THE EYES OF YOUR HEART"
-
When you draw, sculpt/paint anything on Earth, become the thing you are creating as art. Feel compassion and synchronicity with its life force. See with your heart and your eyes will see truth. Truth is love, and love is the reason you exist...to love yourself and know that you share the spirit within every energy that exists in the universe.
--
When you try to create again, through art, what has already been created, your path is pure and you become one with the all of everything...and all of everything becomes a part of you. Whether you draw or sculpt, be with joy for joy is also love and heart-connection, and becoming who you were meant to truly be now, in this moment of perfection.
-
Through you spirit has learned to sing, because of your eyes the world exists in all its complex beauty, "Create as you were created" in art and all other manifestations - see through your heart and your eyes will follow, and frustration will open to awareness and, technical facility. You will become what you desire and desire stirs all creation and artistic endeavor.
-
"I desire to create beautiful and meaningful form and line. I desire to search within myself for artistic expression that is unique to me, I desire to learn to create art to understand my world, I desire to feel passionate about life through art - because I am an artist. I desire to know the totality of my capabilities in imagination, and, what does my art say about me?"
-
As an artist and as a human being, I wish to be a part of everything - life. We feel through our heart the fragility of life in all its intimacy, for "intimacy is the world."

You've done it again Spirit Walker! I don't know how you find the time to advance your research on Norval Morrisseau. Posting Susan Murar's wonderful sculpture with her description how this was done is a story in itself. Without your dedication all this would be lost. Keep up the good work.
