This week's blog post is written by Rubina Panjwani. She is sharing some of her thoughts on creativity.
Creativity is the essence of any
art. I make jewelry from different shapes of wire, mostly copper,
sterling silver and gold fill. The stones I use are gems or
semi-precious. The knowledge I use to create wearable art jewelry comes
from the courses I took in college and working alongside other great artists.
But my inspiration comes from a variety of places, and I tend to feel a
particular connection with nature. The fours seasons and associated colours,
folded leaves, a rainbow…all of these can strike a chord within me and I
suddenly feel the urge to create. Inspiration is all around us - all we
need is imagination and our resources. The more we take chances and try
something new, the more we can cultivate an expertise in our specific field.
On that same note, creativity
plays a significant role in an artist’s life. As a result, we
have a drive to socialize, experiment and take risks, and keep up on styles and
trends, be around positivity, experiment with different techniques and ideas, visit museums,
galleries, shows and exhibitions, bring communities together, challenge
ourselves, read, take photos, teach and share our work/ideas. When it comes to
creating, I truly believe that there are no rules; rather, the important thing
is to put our heart and soul in the task, and always dream big.

because it's a gift'.
