An Open Letter to all Those Who are Passionate About Art & Life.

Dear fellow art enthusiasts and passionate lovers of life,

 

I am writing this letter to the ardent and dedicated lovers of art, the highly imaginative, curious, and open-minded people, willing to explore new ideas in pursuit of your creative vision.

You are the ones who understand the transformative power of art, who are moved by its beauty and complexity, who are absorbed by its power
to offer you vitality and a better life, and who seek to deepen your understanding and appreciation of it. I want to take this moment to celebrate your commitment to art, and to encourage you to continue to explore and engage with art in all its forms.

As an art lover you know that art is not just a form of entertainment, but an essential aspect of human experience. It has the ability to challenge our assumptions and broaden our perspectives, and to speak to the deepest parts of our humanity. Art has the power to connect us with one another, to question ideas, and to help us make sense of the world around us.

But the importance of art goes beyond its ability to inspire and enlighten us. Art also has the power to affect social change. It can challenge social norms,
expose injustices, and offer new visions for a more equitable and just society.

As passionate art enthusiasts, we must recognize this power and work to use art as a tool for social change.

As lovers of life, we know that every experience has the potential to teach us something valuable. We recognize that our enthusiasm for life has the power to
inspire others, and to make the world a better place. We see beauty and potential in every person and every situation, and we work to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

So I encourage you to continue to embrace life with passion and purpose. Take risks, try new things, and push yourself out of your comfort
zone. Connect with others and share your enthusiasm for life with those around you. Be kind, be compassionate, and be a force for good in the world. I believe that art can change you.

Art of all kinds is unique in its ability to inspire us, especially when experienced with those we love, our friends and our families, together in those valued moments of trust and camaraderie. Art creates vibrancy, stimulates mental curiosity, creates interesting environments, and creates shared experiences and bonds between family and friends. Art can be the stimulus for intense happiness. 

But the importance of art goes beyond its ability to inspire and enlighten us. Art also has the power to effect social change. It can challenge social norms, expose injustices, and offer new visions for a more equitable and just society. As passionate art enthusiasts, I encourage you to recognize this power and work to use your art to impact social change.

 So I encourage you to continue to seek out new art forms and to engage with artists who are pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. Find artists that move you - and follow them. Make them and their art, a part of your life. Attend galleries and museums, support local artists and arts organizations, search for art you like online, follow artists on social media, and advocate for the importance of art in our communities. Let us recognize the
transformative power of art, and continue to explore it and use it to create a better and more equitable world.

I believe the best life, A Great Big Life, is one lived creatively. Creativity is a gift to all of humanity, that each of us can choose to explore, or not. #greatbiglife is my homage and mission to support those who want to live an inspired life to whatever moves you, through
adventures no matter how big or small, through the pursuit of creative things,
adopting a mindset and worldview that sees creativity as awe and wonder, giving the ability to live a vibrant Great Big Life of vitality both mentally and
physically. It is the ability to think, imagine, create, and express yourself in unique and meaningful ways that make
you happy. I hope you will join me on this awesome journey.

Finally, it is my greatest wish that you truly experience love, whether it is through my art, or someone else’s, or through the love of special people or family, or through your personal passions, or places and experiences. Love is the core foundation of all
positive human qualities, including compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and personal happiness. Love should be felt. It is a way of living and of
thinking. Embracing the principles of Love will move you into the world of
light, happiness, and a deeply fulfilled life. We should all want this.

I congratulate you for your pursuit and commitment to art, and for your dedication to making the world a better place through its transformative
power. I humbly thank you for your support. Please let me know how I can better serve you, or improve your life in any way.

 

Yours, most humbly,

 

Peter Ashworth, Artist
