A World United Through Creativity.

UbuntuThis is part of the African Maiden collection and titled “Ubuntu”  -  this word has it’s origins in the Bantu language and is a traditional African concept used to emphasize the need for unity.

I loved this interview with the very creative and talented South African poet Lebo Mashile.  I think you’ll enjoy it as well :)   Click here to listen.

This got me thinking about the fact that our world is overflowing with artistic, creative, and talented people!   From the mischievous among us who create crop circles in the middle of the night, to the blokes that makes that neat little fold in the toilet paper to let you know they’ve enhanced your bottom line ….. we are all artists.  Truly!

As Eye See It….. It is difficult to categorize or define an “artist” so why not passionately pursue your day to day activities and at least loiter on the edge of being considered an artist.   Go on – up your creativity.

    I like this take on art – I think art is so much a state of mind and if you live art, there’s so much inspiration in every glance
