Creativity is universal, it is one of the very few things as humans that we have in common. Whether it is a chef cooking, a mason laying brick or a painter painting…we are all creative. We now see it every day on social media, people learning or relearning skills. People are baking, playing with clay, coloring and a variety of other things. So, when we are separated by countries, states or six feet…the one thing that truly does bring us together is creativity.
