Inspiration for Artists, Seekers and Waking Dreamers

Angi Sullins Interview
Read Angi's creativity-inspiring responses to questions about her challenging life journey and learn about her latest books and projects in Creativity Portal's exclusive Creative Careers in the Arts feature.

Angi Sullins is the author and creative mind behind A Knock at the Door, the little film that continues to make a big splash on the Internet. Created as a valentine for the soul, the film has traveled the world several times over, passed via email from friend to friend in an enthusiastic word-of-mouth wildfire, inspiring over four million fans. She is also the founder and president of Duirwaigh Studios, a transmedia design studio creating products and services to inspire the power of imagination and creative consciousness.

After a decade in the inspiration business, Angi has taken her musings on the road. Described by her fans as a curious mix of Dr. King and Dr. Seuss, Angi delivers deeply soul-stirring messages with humorous, whimsical wit. Playful, poetic, bright, deeply expressive and armed with a standup comic's sense of humor, Angi is an engaging writer and an electric speaker. An early review of her first audio book Duirwaighs and Dreamfields: A True Fairy Tale deemed it "Alley McBeal meets Eat Pray Love meets The Secret." Her second book Flaming Muse, a collection of writings from her inspiration-blog Message from the Muse, showcases her storytelling talents, drawing comparisons to Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Liz Gilbert, and Anne Lamott.

She lives in Taos, New Mexico with her husband Silas, two guardian chihuahuas, a pampered mouse, and a pack of renegade faeries who haunt the hummingbird feeder. You can visit Angi at DuirwaighGallery.com and MessagefromtheMuse.com.
