"I feel like we are all little creators; like the Creator breathed bits
 and pieces of herself into us, giving us each the ability to create.
Creativity is what happens when we use that innate ability to reflect truth. 
That's all it takes to be original: using your creativity to reflect the truths that surround you. We each have different experiences of truth, and so each person's particular perspective becomes an original one. It rings true. On the other hand, when you're simply copying someone else - presenting their truth as though it is your own - you're not being creative. It's an act of hatred towards yourself. Towards truth. Real creativity is guided by truth. The truth we see in any piece of creativity is what we all ultimately connect with."

"Creativity is a hard thing to define using words. For me, I paint. Instead of sentences and words that don't quite fit, I use pigment and brush and water to convey the way I feel about the grand and nebulous idea of Creation. I feel like a humble vehicle, used to turn people toward the absolute beauty of everything that has been created in this world. I try to capture that living passion that is roiling under the skin of every person." - Melanie Norris (Artist)
