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. ~ Corita Kent

Fantasy is a magnification and an enhancement of reality, a stripping away of the commonplace and an exploration of the potential of imagination. Fantasy beings are the generous hosts who allow the imagination to travel freely to these parallel worlds. It's surprising how much we can have in common with things that don't exist. ~ John Howe, Fantasy Art Workshop
