How do artists use AI today?
Artists use AI to generate inspiration, develop references, test compositions, and explore abstract ideas. It’s less about finished products and more about creative momentum.
Isn’t AI art just plagiarism?
That depends. The book and guide explore the difference between ethical inspiration and derivative mimicry. You deserve to understand the full picture.
How can I make sure I’m not replaced by AI?
By being YOU. The book focuses on originality, emotion, ethics, and why true creativity can't be coded.
What tools are best for non-digital artists?
You’ll find recommendations inside the series for tools like Midjourney, DALL·E, Adobe Firefly, and more—but with a focus on how they serve real-world painting, sketching, and sculpture.

Why Artists Need This NOW
Hey, I'm Monica Brinkman—a painter, creative leader, and the voice behind FeministArt.ca.
I create playful, meditative, and colourful acrylic paintings inspired by themes like feminism, nature, yoga, and balance. But as the art world evolves, I've found myself exploring a new question: How do traditional artists like us use AI without losing what makes our work human?
This guide is my answer. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or just getting started, you're in the right place. Let's navigate this together—with clarity, creativity, and ethics at the core.
Monica’s AI Values for Artists
- Creativity over replication: AI is a tool, not a substitute.
- Ethics over trend-chasing: Know what you're generating and where it comes from.
- Soul over speed: Tech should serve your process, not steal it.
- Empowerment through experimentation: Use AI to expand, not erase.
- Feminist lens on tech & culture: Center values, not hype.
- This is your grounding philosophy throughout the AI for Artists journey.
