For me, the magic of creativity is transformation, from a few lines drawn to a full blown portrait of a flower; from observation of light toward creation of a fine photograph; from inert ingredients to a glorious cake; from flat to dimension as in hat making.  

Things will talk to you if you learn to listen; listening to your inner voice will tell you all you need to know in language you can understand. One of the joys of my life has been learning not to be afraid to express myself.
