"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)
