Your hopes and dreams, as well as your perception of the world around you, come through in your work and make it unique.

Whatever direction your life takes, your underlying themes remain. Discover and explore your themes to open the way for rich creative development.

Positive attitude accelerates your development as a creative person. Believe in yourself.

Choose to give your creative art priority over other things. You can do it.

Gather knowledge... Visit galleries, museums, art and craft fairs... Read books and magazines. Take workshops. Use your senses. Experience stimulates your memory and imagination.

If you persist in ignoring your intuition, you may find yourself stuck in a permanent holding pattern instead of taking the risks that lead to creative growth.

Establish an atmosphere that energizes you. Some creative people flourish in confusion; others need to be free from interruption. Many prepare themselves for work by exercising to stimulate circulation; others meditate to quiet the chatter of the outer world.
