Daily Creative is a passion project promoting creative play as an impactful wellness practice with science-backed benefits, including increasing happiness, promoting innovative thinking, sharpening problem solving skills, alleviating stress & anxiety, and improving mental health.
We believe that everyone is creative and that process is more important than the end result.
Blythe Harris and I (top left) were inspired to start the project in 2020, after experiencing the mental benefits of a virtual art class during lock down. We have since filmed a series of creative “pathways” that incorporate quick and easy activations that everyone can do. We have also gone behind-the-scenes with creatives from around the world to hear how creativity has impacted their lives, learn about their daily creative practices, and see their creative spaces first hand. We look forward to sharing it all with you.

SAMPLE CREATIVE ACTIVATION
Three Dot Drawing:

Make three dots on a piece of paper and connect them without picking up your pen or pencil. . Repeat multiple times in a row. Notice how you make changes each time and push against your natural inclinations each time, thinking outside of the box. Compare your first and last drawings. This exercise is meditative, low pressure and great for any age. There are no mistakes and you can repeat and experiment with different shapes and continue to stretch your creative brain.
