Within each of us there lies a source of great inspiration and creative power. We call this power the Muse . The process of getting to “know your Muse” leads to the discovery of an inner wellspring, awakened by the wonder and beauty of the world around us. This deeply personal force, unique to each individual, is key to creative fulfillment. The degree to which we engage with our Muse determines the depth of satisfaction in any creative endeavor. Ultimately, to fully Know Your Muse is to recognize it as our own creative nature—a reflection of our inner power and boundless potential. The highest aesthetic vision is seeing the world as a boundless museum with the Muse seated at the heart of it.

THE FILM
The “Know Your Muse” reality documentary series delves into the heart of the creative process. Created in the Hudson Valley, this father-daughter directorial debut explores the relationship between perception, imagination and artistic expression.
The series follows artist Andrey Tamarchenko as he guides hesitant beginners in unlocking their hidden artistic talents by engaging their sense of wonder
and aesthetic insight. Through these encounters, the audience witnesses a transformation that is both personal and universal: a quiet revelation of what
it means to engage deeply with the world, with art, and with oneself.

INSTITUTE
Know Your Muse Institute offers immersive learning that unites aesthetic philosophy with hands-on studio practice to awaken your creative source. Our flagship 12-week course blends breathwork and perception exercises with drawing and painting techniques—like our signature Spider Weave™—to help you create from presence, make friends with chaos, and embrace a contemplative “slow art” approach. We extend this work through in-person workshops and tailored corporate “Visual Alchemy” trainings, giving individuals and teams a repeatable process for insight, flow, and meaningful expression. Guided by our intuitive, multi-stage framework, participants move toward clarity, connection, and the joyful merging of perception, emotion, and meaning—regardless of experience level.
