Dana Lynne Andersen sends a clarion call to artists and patrons throughout the world: “The Arts have the potential to catalyze the evolution of humanity.” In contrast to the current gallery and museum scene of ‘art for arts sake,’ Andersen advocates ‘art on purpose,’ referring to work that is deliberate in its intention to uplift humanity and serve as a conduit of revelation. Andersen founded Awakening Arts Network, a global resource nexus connecting hundreds of artists throughout the world who are engaged in creating art that is ‘evolutionary’ and ‘transformative.’

Andersen’s large-scale paintings are stunning in breadth of vision and subtlety of detail. Her work is often ‘cosmological’ in theme and expression. Sweeping panoramas of color and form speak both of the vastness of the universe without and the mysterious depths of inner space. Scintillating symbols bring forth archetypal knowledge from realms deep within. Robert McDermott, former president of the California Institute of Integral Studies, recently described Andersen as a 'Vesuvius’ of Creativity' and spoke of the importance of her work as a visionary for the consciousness community. Dana Lynne Andersen, heralding a ‘renaissance’ in a higher order of art, calls us to aspire to ‘awakening arts.’ Please visit www.awakeningarts.com for beautiful original paintings, archival fine art prints and commissions, as well as creativity retreats for artists and non-artists alike, and the global resource nexus.
