LIVE CREATIVELY
Creativity-the use of imagination or original ideas. Usually associated to the production of artistic work, but definitely occurs in every aspect of everyday life. Things like your day’s outfit, the shape of your morning pancake, the design on your latte, your car’s carefully considered weaving path through traffic, the tone and inflection of your greetings, the color combination of your excel web chart, the crinkle cut of your French fries-Creativity can be found in day to day experiences.
We have only seen a small part of Katie Guinn’s life, but she is a creative person through and through. In speaking with Katie, she is in tune with the creative inspiration that surrounds her. The seasons of the Northwest, the various Oregon flowers in bloom, her daughter’s vibrance, the beautiful relationships she’s built with her family and friends all feed Katie’s creative process that lead to her beautiful designs. When you witness someone like Katie absorb inspiration, conceive an idea, and bring it to life, it’s ethereal.
Next time you take on what seemingly is mundane or routine, tap into your surroundings and use some of that creative inspiration. Don’t let the opportunity of realizing something beautiful elude your everyday life.
