Between my husband and I, we express our creativity and problem-solving skills differently. My boys can count on Daddy to allow them (and demonstrate) how to use a diaper and underwear as an astronaut helmet (a clean one of course!). I would google on Pinterest how to make a knight's helmet or a Lion Dance Head with cardboard and proceed to use one of the old diaper boxes, penknife and a glue gun to hold the pieces in place.
Being married and having kids, especially boys in my case, has made me loosen up. I'm also learning how valuable it is for a child's learning development, as well as my art and creativity.
As someone who has shared my artwork, and is known for beautiful drawings, there is a certain pressure I often place on myself that what I share needs to look good and be of a certain standard.
When you have a creative streak, however, there is a need for experimentation, play, and fun, and often times, there is risk that this work is UGLY. Read on as I share on how I have I incorporated Play and Fun in my creative practice!

I often face creative blocks, taking longer than I anticipate to complete commissions, and feeling stuck in my projects. Well, just this past Chris...
