Artist Empowerment

I’ve always been a fan of great quotes, here are a few on creativity I thought I’d share:

“Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.”

Rita Mae Brown

“Creativity is the ability to see relationships where none exist.”

Thomas Disch

“Conditions for creativity are to be puzzled; to concentrate; to accept conflict and tension; to be born everyday; to feel a sense of self.”

Erich Fromm

“There’s room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you’re trying to be like somebody else, then there is isn’t.”

Tori Amos

“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”

Mary Lou Cook

The moment an artist creates something that didn’t previously exist, the world changes.

Forever.

Out of nowhere, a bright light flashes through the space in our mind.

Something beautiful is happening.

A creative spark ignites and takes us from here to everywhere in a split second.

At this very instant, time ceases to exist and the realities of the physical world vanish into oblivion.

A door swings open revealing a new world of possibility.

We are presented with an alternate reality, a playground where we can completely and truly be ourselves without any barriers, limitations and boundaries.

As artists, we have all experienced this beautiful moment when a melody soars, a chord sings with emotion, a word inspires a story or a rhythm moves us deep inside.

No matter what comes next, the world has changed forever and for the better.

This is a celebration of the beauty and power of that very moment, the sacred moment of creation.
