An artist’s role in society can be likened to that of a modern day shaman. Not in the literal sense, but figuratively,
due to their ability to channel new ideas, sharing their understanding of life’s truths and mysteries, through the duties of artistic expression.
Artists connect us back to our humanity on a level that cuts through the distractions of modern life and returns us to our soul, even if only for a brief moment of healing inspiration.
Hence, we've gathered under this common perspective,
to form the online artist's collective known as the
“Inspired Knowers”.
We're friends who have similar traditions from our respective cultures and shared experiences from the communities we grew up in. Those connections, inspire what we call “our vibe”.
Our collective features Urban art, by a former Disney Animation artist, and a Poet who creates “Spiritual" art, We also have an Army Veteran who creates Pop-Art, and his two daughters who are young digital art protégés in their own right.
We'd like to get to know and accept more artists - and styles - that can potentially fit with the “vibes” of our collective.
Help us increase our “shamanistic powers” to provide humanity with the antidote to the mundane.
We happen to mainly be people of color, but we are not defined simply in those terms. We don't care what you "are" - as long as you can respect differing viewpoints in life, you are welcome to give us a shout.
