creativity – Hilary Clark Studios

We spent a week in Costa Rica this past April. We flew into San Jose, then boarded a small plane to fly south, almost to Panama, to Gulfito. We spent a week hiking the rain forest, rappelling down waterfalls, eating glorious food, and wandering the beach.

This piece is inspired by that trip. One of the last wild places. We need more of them.

Life is full of ebbs and flows. I’m in an ebb state these days, my production and creativity rates steady but low and slow. For six months, I worked on my latest Feeling, letting the work guide me where it wanted to go. Appropriately enough for this piece – (Feeling) Intuitive.

As I’ve done with work in the last couple of years, I’ve added acrylic paint to the art piece, using it to convey the feeling along with the fiber. I think it’s time to end that practice and return to the fiber roots, letting the fabric speak all on its own.

Intuitive represents the spark and energy felt when intuition strikes, often bold and bright. But pay attention for the quieter messages you receive. They’re often more powerful and carry more weight.

Come back and visit again one day soon — I’ll have new work to share. Until then, listen for the messages the Universe or your Higher Power sends you every day. There’s always something you need to know.
