Welcome to the vibrant month of September 2023. We’ve traversed through time once again, and I’m thrilled to connect with all of you. If you’re tuning in to this message, it’s a signal that a world of new opportunities awaits our Rogue members. From career challenges to collab labs, and fresh lessons and workshops, there’s an artistic feast awaiting you this month. So, whether you’re already immersed in the creative flow or just about to dive in, be sure to explore September’s exciting offerings.
Speaking of diving in, I’ve got something profound to share with you for this month. As creators, I urge you to set aside some time for introspection and contemplation. It’s time to embark on a journey to uncover your artistic voice. We recently had a captivating discussion in a live podcast about discovering one’s voice as an artist – an exploration that goes far beyond your chosen medium.
I’m aware that many of you have already taken steps down this path. You create from the heart, you infuse your essence into your art, and you know the essence of finding your voice. But let’s be real, not everyone fully comprehends this journey. Some may not grasp the immense power and significance of discovering their own unique artistic voice. So, let’s break it down and explore the reasons why this journey is worth every ounce of effort.
When you delve deep into the realm of your artistic voice, you’re actually tapping into your distinct perspective. It’s a journey of understanding your artistic identity and your essence as a human being. This is more than just making art – it’s about baring your soul through your creations. I get it, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of trends and popular styles. But, believe me, the real magic happens when you authentically express yourself.
Think about it – when you chase trends or create just for popularity’s sake, you’re not truly speaking your truth. You’re not sharing your unique perspective, your personal quirks, your passions that make you, well, you. The consequence? A lack of authentic connection with your audience. It’s like trying to fit into a mold that doesn’t quite match your shape. And guess what? You’re better than that.
The world, as it stands, often emphasizes conformity. We’re often taught that fitting in equates to happiness. But let me tell you, the real treasures of connection come from embracing your individuality. When you do that, your art becomes an extension of yourself. That’s where the true power lies – in being unapologetically, unmistakably you.
I’ve seen this firsthand in my artistic journey. From sculptures to paintings, my art reflects me, and that’s what makes it instantly recognizable. It’s the authentic cohesion across all mediums, a common thread woven through each piece. This brings us to an essential point – whether you’re crafting jewelry, composing music, weaving words, or creating videos, your unique voice will infuse a consistent essence into all your creations.
This month, I want you to focus on more than just art. Consider your life’s trajectory. Are you chasing after an elusive something without a clear vision? Or are you living a life brimming with personal fulfillment? Connect these dots. Envision what you desire and tie it to your art. Your voice should echo your aspirations, your dreams, your essence.
In a nutshell, I urge you to dive deep into your artistic voice this month. Contemplate, reflect, and let your true self emerge in your creations. Dismiss the fear of rejection – it’s merely a sieve that separates those who resonate with your truth from those who don’t. Remember, those who change the world are the ones who walk their unique path, not the well-trodden road.
Go forth and embrace this transformative journey. Paint, sculpt, sing, or write with the colors of your essence. Unleash your voice upon the world. You’ve got this, and remember, you are nothing short of a creative genius.
