The Divine Function of the Artist

I exist to reconnect artists to their divine function.

As artists, our divine function is to conjure or usher in an atmosphere thru our craft, that inspires and leads people into a higher awareness of beauty.

For us beauty is a state of consciousness. It is a state of awareness. And what we are aware of is how complete and wonderful and lovely and special and amazing we are as God's creation. A creation he was well pleased with when he created it.

In Beauty we feel accepted and approved — as we are.

In Beauty we see the very best features and functions of who we are.

In Beauty we are at peace because we rest in the truth that we are pleasing to the one who created us.
