rtist Patrick Tisdale who will provide a \;quick
\;sketch of you (not a caricature!) while at the JCPL Services Center.
Artist Statement: \;
\;
I want you to know that your imagination is alive and well. \; You
may have been neglecting it\; as a lot of us often do. \; Never the le
ss\, it is alive.
\;
If I can remind you of anything in th
is moment\, it would be to say emphatically\, that you *are* creative.&nbs
p\; I see creativity in everyone who says they don&rsquo\;t have it. \
; Imagination is the beginning and end of my argument.
\;
My job as an &ldquo\;artist&rdquo\; is to feed my creativity via my imagin
ation. \; I give myself permission to zone out and imagine all of what
ever I care to. \; Some times those imaginative thoughts manifest as a
rt. \; Most of the time\, they do not. \; I don&rsquo\;t put press
ure on my imagination and I give it as much time as I can. \;
&n
bsp\;
You have an imagination &\; because that&rsquo\;s true\, you
have creativity too. \; Feed it\, you know you want to. \; And th
is world needs you to.
