Connect the Dots
Connect the Dots is a book I’m so excited about that I’ve underlined passages from practically the whole book–which even for me is pretty radical. Dr. Christian Busch has written a deeply personal and well-researched book on the subject of why serendipity happens, how to cultivate these random yet meaningful coincidences and what to do […]
Infinite Cosmic Consciousness
June 20th, 1994 was the day that Sachiko Adachi returned to her star cluster. It may sound like a stretch, but Sachiko told her audiences that when her time was up here on earth she was going home. Her short life of 48 years became increasingly dedicated to helping others raise their vibration, which back […]
Genesis Art Sprint
The Spirit in Genesis Art By Liane Wakabayashi with Mary Petty Let me take you behind the scenes of what to expect when you do a Genesis Art Sprint. Each day you’ll be drawing at home using a prompt that I’ll send to you as a short video. The prompt will connect you, […]
Harvesting oranges during a Sprint
An amazing story of syncronicity This is going to sound very odd, I know. But bare with me. This is how Genesis Art works. Odd things happen. Actually magical at times. Like now, in the midst of an 88-day Genesis Art Challenge, three artists situated in very different parts of the world drew trees with […]
Doodles Coming Out of the Margins and Entering Center Stage
Thank you Kat Cuadros for sending along the August 24th, 2021 BBC story about an exhibition currently running in London that showcases doodlers from around the globe, and how not meaningless these doodles are. Turner-prize winning (as in mega-prestigeous) award-winning artist, Oscar Murillo, collected more than 100,000 doodled canvases by children around the world. IN […]
What should we do with all our Genesis Art?
Genesis Art students often have an enviable problem. They become prolific after months of making intuitive art the Genesis Way in live and Zoom classes. What could possibly be the problem with creating so much art? It often happens that you don’t love everything that you’ve drawn or painted. There is a lot of experimenting […]
Symbols and Intuitive Art: Are the two like Oil and Water?
The tree that arises from imagination, not a symbol!! What happens when you mix oil and water? They separate. I turned to the children’s website Wonderopolis to refresh my memory why this is so. “Water molecules are polar molecules. That means one end of the molecule has a positive charge and the other end has […]
When Words Join Forces with Art
To me, one of the great joys in the creative process is communicating without the need for words. Words guide our thoughts toward what the maker wants us to think. I won’t call it mind control, but it sure is a way of numbing intuition. A work of art without words invites us to free-associate […]
Contemplating Our Strengths
In Genesis Art Workshops, you get feedback, lots of it, and it may be like nothing you could ever have imagined. Especially if someone long ago gave you crushing criticism about your art. “Criticism is typically offensive, insulting, and humiliating. It creates seclusion and entrenchment,” according to Yehiel Harari. In Winning Every Moment, Harari devotes […]
Be Non-Judgmental
When you can see the goodness in someone else’s art, you can see more of that goodness in your own. Genesis Art offers steps toward artistic refinement through a process of refining our thoughts and word choices from start to finish. I’ve been reading a riveting biography about Rabbi Shneur Zalman, the founder of […]
