I can&#39;t tell you how many truly creative people I have met, who can&#39;t give themselves to the playful process of making art.<\/p>\n<p>These days, as art, music and PE are suffering cutbacks, and schools&#39; art classes have to fit in a weekly smidgen of time, I worry about another generation of kids whose Inner Artist is being obliterated.<\/p>\n<p>Happily, among young adults, being a &quot;Creative&quot; means that you are in demand. I hear at trend conferences that there are fewer interns who can pick up a pencil and draw out an idea, but for those who can, there is a great demand for those who can translate a concept to an image.<\/p>\n<p>Art is Joyful.<br \/>\nCreativity is Healing.<\/p>\n<p>Making things with your hands clears your head and heals your heart.<\/p>\n<p>In a crazy world, we find our sanity, our Inner Peace, by expressing our heart and soul through art.<\/p>\n<p>When making art, or being creative,<br \/>\nwe need lots of empty time and space<br \/>\nfor our internal process to unfold.<\/p>\n<p>I spend a whole day in my studio, cleaning and organizing, listening to happy World Music, before I start a new project.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere inside *all* of us is the<br \/>\nCreative Child who knows how to PLAY.<\/p>\n<p>Won&#39;t you join me?<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"display: inline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/6a0120a82c6029970b013487d0c84b970c1.jpg\"><img
