“Every child is an artist; the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.”
– Pablo Picasso
After years of taking her kids to art classes, my friend Debbie began taking ceramics classes herself. Recently she gifted me a coffee mug she made, and I’ve been drinking from it while sitting on my deck in the mornings as I watch the sun rise. Its warmth and sturdiness have become a reminder of our treasured friendship.
Still, many adults don’t think of themselves as artistic, but creativity comes in so many forms: creating a yoga class sequence, experimenting with a Kung Pao chicken recipe, rearranging furniture for a retirement party, making spreadsheet columns that provide new insight on a work project, inventing games for children, reorganizing kitchen cabinets, planning a trip on a budget.
How do you—or would you like to—incorporate artistry and creativity in your life?
