Yolanda El Khouri
"Art is a way of life in these cultures, it's not separate to their everyday; it's all one. I like to bring my art into everything I do, from cooking to getting dressed."

Kerrie Basha
​"The awakening of the divine feminine is in my opinion an invitation to take an approach - to our unique expression as both our art and our life - that is more centered on the process than any predetermined finish line."

Roisin Malone
"By exploring your innate creative urges, you develop a remarkably unique and fulfilling life, which has a positive ripple effect out into the world."

Alphamama
"Don't ever let anyone convince you that art isn't important. It makes people feel, and in this world in this time, it is the most important form of activism, to revive the lifeless through rehabilitating their ability to feel."

Emily Robinson
"I still don’t have an answer as to why I love to create and I have a feeling I will never really know. It feels intuitive; like in a way, making work is practising intuition. Often when I make work I feel as though the work already exists; it’s about me scratching back the surface to reveal it."

Carly Lorente
​"I believe that when a woman is turned on she creates - truth, art, children, beauty, money, and magic. I used to feel that I had to choose which of those things would come from that space, but now I know that's it's just one seamless, juicy existence down there."

Emily 'Mimi' Devers
"Each artwork I leave in a different space, different culture, different time, is an expression of the things that concern me, but more importantly, a celebration of the things that give me hope." 

Courtney Cook
“I have always been interested and curious in something beyond ourselves... The intangible spirit that flows through each of us and connects us all. It's something that young children feel and know, however, throughout life our traumas and beliefs start to take over, along with our thinking minds.”

Eleanor Amiradaki
“Both a human life and that initial creative impulse begin as something so subtle, so immeasurable. It is only through process and materiality; clay, paint, blood, bone, that there is form, where something now exists in its own right.”

Bonnita Gillard
“Art for me is a journey influenced by the relationship between nature and the cause and effect that it has on the human spirit.  My practice questions the very essence of life on earth and how we can evolve as species by remembering the profound knowledge of the ancient ways.”
