How to Make Intuitive Art
Dhira Lawrence, an intuitive artist, stated, "Creation without preconception is spontaneous and images form through layers of formless shapes, colors, and lines. The brush is a tool for declaring the unseen..." This explanation of intuitive art only begins to touch the surface of an art form that's created by sending the mind's eye deep into the soul of the artist. This can be done via various meditative forms. Alex Grey put it this way: "Visionary art encourages the development of our inner sight. To find the visionary realm, we use the intuitive inner eye: The eye of contemplation; the eye of the soul. All the inspiring ideas we have as artists originate here." Shelly Klammer is a registered therapist who explains intuitive art on her web page about getting in touch with creativity through focus on the internal.
