ne of the questions I get asked the most by fellow creatives is, “How do I write an artist statement?” And honestly — I get it. As artists, we often feel so much through our work that putting those emotions into words can feel almost impossible. But your artist statement doesn’t need to be complicated or overly academic. Think of it as a bridge between you and your audience — a way to help others understand what drives your creativity.

At Emerging Creatives, we believe in the power of artists, innovators and thinkers to shape our collective future. That’s why we are delighted to invite you to be part of HEALinc Global Summit 2026 — not as mere observers, but as creators, connectors, and collaborators in a global movement toward regenerative health, whole-person flourishing, and the birth of new creative lifecycles.

When I first named this community Emerging Creatives, I received a lot of pushback. Some established artists didn’t like being labeled “emerging,” and I understood that perspective. But for me, the name isn’t about status or experience — it’s about growth, learning, and continual evolution.
