Unlocking Creativity: The Art of Translation in Your Creative Process

As artists, we often draw inspiration from various sources – be it nature, emotions, or other forms of art. The concept of translation in the creative process involves taking these inspirations and transforming them into your unique artistic language. It's about transcending literal interpretation and imbuing your work with personal meaning. My wife gave me a box of cards for the holidays in 2022. I was puzzled because they were creativity cards and I thought, what the heck is this, I don't need them. Well, folks, I was wrong and I will attempt to do a card a week and record an episode about how I am utilizing the card I draw every week if you decide to pick up a deck and do these let me know.
