It's never easy doing what you love...but it's equally rewarding


Transformative Arts Program - Assisi, Italy 2016 


Profile: Clarity West


Hi my name is Clarity West and I am an energetic painter, designer, writer, filmmaker and all around artist. I am also a yoga and meditation teacher, which I feel greatly inspires my art and creations. 

My paintings and art express different energy states.




Art and creativity balance the right and left side of the brain. When used as a process of discovery and self examination it guides us to obtain answers or insight and is a way for the inner voice to be experienced and heard. Art can be product oriented but it can also be process focused and a way for us to be completely in the moment.

These days the process of slowing down is a very important one, as society deals with these new and unknown illnesses such as stress, anxiety and depression.  I believe as a society as we move towards having all our outer comforts met, we begin an inner exploration of the question "Who am I"?

Art is a way to channel energy, whether stuck, moving, stagnant or depressed, art forms can helps us move beyond and to move the energy into a clear state.


Art acts as a window for new insight and revelation to occur.


Over the years I've assisted a few art processes for children, adults, yoga groups, schools, retreats and for expecting mothers. 
As a transformation artist and a facilitator myself, I act as a guide or a midwife to help the process to unfold. We create the right environment to explore. The way in which we know how to do this is from years of our own personal exploration, inside and out, through our art and the continued dedication to grow through our exploration.






                               I believe Artists are the new Shamans.



                                           Art as a tool to uplift consciousness

I am excited and thrilled to have been invited to be a part of this dynamic and talented group of ground breaking artists. Our’s is a group of pioneers which aims to create rules, rather than follow them and to set new boundaries in inner exploration in the modality of Art. In the coming years I predict there will be many more facilitators using art and creativity as a means for insight in areas such as Education, Medicine, and the Corporate setting. Already it's beginning.


I look forward to sharing what will come from this year’s Transformative Arts Training in Italy 2016. 



 
In Love & Peace,
