Everything Is Beautiful

October 26, 2023

I know I have the upper hand here when I say “everything is beautiful.” I’m an artist, and as a visual creator, we can’t help but take in, absorb, and process the world through our eyes first.

Playing is Part of the Process

September 28, 2023

I’m a super playful person…a goof…and am most often considered the whackiest among my friend group. And yet, I still struggle to recognize the importance of play when it comes to creativity, and even down time. For me, I have a really easy time getting playful when I’m in the company of others. But when … More Playing is Part of the Process

Can Creativity be Cultivated?

September 14, 2023

Well-formed adults, I believe, are critical thinkers, curious, empathetic, and have a basic knowledgebase. I expanded on what that means in How Many Fully-Formed Adults Do You know? I believe those four characteristics or skills are what the goal of a good education is all about, as in the paraphrase of Einstein to the right. … More Can Creativity be Cultivated?
