Finding Your Creative Voice in 'The Kingdom of Sound'

Exploring Creativity Through Julia Cameron's Wisdom

Julia Cameron, in her renowned book 'The Vein of Gold,' introduces the concept of 'The Kingdom of Sound' as a powerful place that fuels an artist's creativity. This idea resonates deeply with many creators, including myself. Art is a conduit through which we express our innermost thoughts and emotions, transcending mere visuals. It's fascinating how Cameron encourages us to access our creativity from the heart, allowing genuine expression to shine through.

Through "Morning Pages" and "Artist's Dates" Julia encourages creative individuals to reconnect with their true selves. The morning pages help sort out our thoughts and feelings, to do lists and frees our minds to be creative now the clutter has been sorted through. The artist's dates are meant to be fun, to allow ourselves to be a kid again, to do things we wouldn't take the time to do if it weren't for Julia's books.

The Vein of Gold is a great book to read after reading The Artist's Way, both books are by Julia Cameron.

Julia Cameron’s concept of 'The Kingdom of Sound' encourages all artists to delve deep into their hearts to unleash creativity. For me, art is not only a personal journey of expression but also a means to connect with others and raise awareness about important issues like EDS and B12 deficiency. By finding our voice in our work, we contribute to a broader conversation that can bring about change and understanding. So, whether you're an artist or an admirer, remember the power that creativity holds to inspire and educate!

Listen to this zebras! A doctor that IS a zebra and his experience with B12 deficiency. Below is the full video on B12 deficiency, it's more common than you think, especially among zebras.

Using Art to Raise Awareness of EDS

Creating art related to EDS allows me to advocate for a cause that is often misunderstood or overlooked. Through these visual interpretations, I aim to raise awareness about the challenges faced by those living with this condition. My goal is to educate others about EDS, sharing insights and knowledge through visually engaging content. Each brushstroke can symbolize the struggle, resilience, and hope that so many individuals with EDS experience daily. In essence, the art becomes a storytelling medium, conveying messages that inform and inspire.

Art as a Voice for Connection

As someone who creates art, I find that my pieces not only reflect my personal experiences but also act as a bridge to connect with others. Whether it’s through vibrant colors or subtle details, my artwork speaks volumes. It becomes a dialogue, fostering connections that might not be possible through words alone. My passion lies in using this medium not just for self-expression but also for education, particularly concerning Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a connective tissue disorder and B12 deficiency that effects zebras and many others with chronic disease. My life of health struggles have impacted my life and the lives of so many others.

Why I use the zebra for my logo.

I'm a zebra and my logo is for all of us zebras who are waiting for better education, treatment and understanding from others, especially the medical community to recognize EDS and B12 deficiencies. With this better understanding we zebras could experience a much better quality of life than the struggles we encounter every day.
