Heather C. Williams, H.W., M. calls herself an Ontological Artist. What is that? Well, ontology means the 'study of being'. An Ontological Artist is anyone who relaxes, becomes aware of their breath, feels their heart and the Presence of their Soul and then asks a question and draws out a response from the Innate (natural) Being that is within us all. The response may take the form of a drawing, a song, a dance, a painting, a poem, a story or many other expressions. It may also open the doorway to a new chapter in life. Every human being is born with a creative seed buried deep within them. And no one but you can draw this seed out of you! (AI can't do it!) It is time now for each human being to do the WORK: Wake up to the Innate (natural) Being that is within you and draw it out into expression!
