No matter how you express your creativity, relationships with other artists\u2014painters, writers, designers, jewelry makers, hairstylists, dancers\u2014can inspire you and push your art in new directions.<\/p>\n

Recently, I wandered through an art exhibit<\/a> at the Dal\u00ed Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, where the paintings of Salvador Dali<\/a>\u00a0and Pablo Picasso<\/a> were placed side by side. The younger of the two artists by more than 20 years, Dal\u00ed sought out the already-famous Picasso early in his life. During the periods when Dal\u00ed was near Picasso, their artwork greatly influenced each other, with Picasso having an even greater impact on\u00a0Dal\u00ed. Yet each retained his own style, and Dal\u00ed used\u00a0Picasso’s art\u00a0as a springboard for his own creative work. Their\u00a0complicated rivalry and relationship<\/a> spanned their lives. Both pushed the boundaries of an artistic shift in the world and inspired countless other artists.<\/p>\n

Dal\u00ed and Picasso aren’t\u00a0the only artists to create symbiotically. Famous artists have always congregated and learned from each other. Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/a> inspired and mentored Henry David Thoreau<\/a>\u2014the author of Walden<\/em><\/a>. Thoreau also helped edit and inspire Emerson\u2019s work. Although one is considered the teacher, the relationship was expansive for both artists. Like Dal\u00ed and Picasso, both pushed the boundaries of a cultural thought movement.<\/p>\n

How to Apply the Lessons of Creative Masters
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Listen<\/strong> to the burning desire in your heart. What\u2019s your craft? Your expression in the world? Is it your life\u2019s work? Is it art? The beautiful melody of words or music? Or brilliant colors splashing from a paintbrush in your hands? Is it yoga? The graceful movements of the human body? Do you want to build? Create space? A home? Create healing? Spread a message of love? Don\u2019t think about how. Let go of your mind and self-critiques. Move from that space.<\/p>\n

Seek<\/strong> those living a similar expression. Read the biographies of those you admire and share your passion with others. Join a group or attend events. Find a mentor and let the shared energy inspire\u00a0growth in both of you.<\/p>\n

Build<\/strong> your tribe. Multiply and grow in community, tied together with a common thread. Notice and learn from your differences. Use this fuel to open your mind and create beyond your individual self.<\/p>\n

Allow<\/strong> these relationships to spur your creativity. The bond of a shared path may sometimes feel challenged and inspired. Competitive. Open. Admirable. Supported. Defiant. Complicated. Passionate. It’s all creative fuel.<\/p>\n

Join<\/strong> the creative whole. Your expression no longer belongs to you alone. You are creating from a space of sharing, transmission, and expansion\u2014carrying out your heart\u2019s work and letting it open you to a greater expression that goes beyond your separate self. This is the space of the Masters\u2014where global change occurs, art pushes the boundaries of expression, and thought movements re-shape the world.<\/p>\n

Give<\/strong> back. For anyone who has found this space of energetic and artistic bond with another\u2014don\u2019t let the secret stay locked in your own connection. Go forth with that spark and encourage those with the same expressive imprint as you. Throw fuel on their fire and watch it re-transform your own.<\/p>\n

The teacher in me honors and bows to the teacher in you. We are all teachers. We are all students.<\/em><\/p>\n
