Create what only you can create. Do not worry is it good or if others will like it. Just create. Create what is rooted deep within you that needs to find expression in whatever form it takes.

Creativity is revolutionary. It is resistance against a culture that too often prizes utilitarianism. Art offers questions & questions authority in all its forms. It offers possibilities & hope. It reminds us why we are here in this brief, beautiful life.
This is Marta McDowell's book: #BeatrixPotter's Gardening Life. Some of you may have even attended her talk at the 2018 Beatrix Potter Society conference.
Marta's conference presentation is available to watch on the members only section of the Beatrix Potter Society website.
