Creativity belongs to the artist in each of us. To create means to relate. The root meaning of the word art is “to fit together” and we all do this every day. Not all of us are painters but we are all artists. Each time we fit things together we are creating – whether it is to make a loaf of bread, a child, a day.

Thank you, Joanna. It’s like we say to our clients, even the tiniest thing we do is creating/changing our lives if we want it to.
One lesson I’m learning from this work is that I need to get cracking taking more photos. They’re such a useful way to reinforce a message, to illustrate the point. And they make me very happy!
