Hello and welcome to iNous. My name is Samantha Prigge. I founded this independent and non-affiliated institution in 2021 as a means to share the enriching benefits of Artistic Mind.

I call myself an artistic researcher and content curator – which really means I’m passionate about collecting and creatively arranging nuggets of information related to living life artistically.

Ultimately, I believe each one of us is our most sacred work of art unfolding in a greater Mystery which connects us all.

In 2018, after spending 20 years immersed in academia, I purposefully walked away from the rules and regulations of institutionalised learning to pursue a more open-ended and autonomous lifestyle. Stepping away from the comforts and support structures of the University was both frightening and exhilirating. By my side were my husband Lanon Prigge (Artist, Muse and iNous contributor), and our homeschooling daughter.

The most significant thing I learned in my 20 years as a lecturer in performing arts is that while it’s possible to teach art – in the sense of imparting techniques, tools and history – it is impossible to teach artistry – as this is an infinite process of discovery and emergence unique to each individual.

iNous is dedicated to offering resources that enhance the potential for individuals to experience the immersive wisdom of Artistic Mind, thereby nurturing their unique unfolding as a sovereign work of art.
