1. What is the link between your spirituality and your creativity?
I feel that they are so intertwined that there is not a link but for me spirituality and creativity are bound together. I have always felt that my ability to create has been a gift from God.  I think I can almost say they are one, for me.

2. Where do you draw your inspiration from? Wow, that question has a million answers but to name a few... books, magazines, nature, the man made, a leaf, a flower, poetry, colour,  a pattern on some fabric, the sleek design of a car, I draw inspiration from all around me and I find that if I just listen and look around me there is so much to hear and see.

3. What will you be hoping to take away from the CSP event? I hope to meet and network with people that share the same passion for their creativity through their faith. I cannot wait to be inspired to see all the amazing things people have done and are working on! oh and lots of business cards for future projects together!
