"Creativity is a channel through which I could disperse my spiritual energy. It is a form of meditation that allows myself to experience this world, of things that are seen and unseen."
"Creativity is an impulsive decision to let your soul take control of your senses. It is that fleeting moment when you own your own universe." - Ira Ischwara (Graphic designer/Artist)
I am naturally a very scientific person. I do not see this as an opposite of creativity. My work starts with parameters, from there exploration happens. By setting clear goals at the start of each piece I have a way to determine when it's finished - otherwise I am likely to wander off and start several new ideas right on top of the original one. If a new idea occurs to me while I'm working on a piece, I try to set it aside and make it part of my goals for the next work. So, much of the creative process happens while I am reflecting in between working on paintings. - Jane Radstrom (Painter/Designer)
"The creative drive is encoded in human DNA. This instinct is key to the survival of our species, and has evolved as we have evolved through the making of stone-tools, to developing language, to producing major works of art. The symbiotic relationship between humans and creativity not only makes our survival possible, it makes it less boring." - Lyndie Greenwood (Actor)
