why drawing matters

It feels as if we are living in uniquely precarious times.
Today, our lives and our children’s futures are being shaped by unprecedented fires, floods, pandemics, and political upheaval. We need
to use all the prodigious capacities of the human imagination to meet the challenges these crises pose. Yet, in trying times, the calm needed for creativity and innovation to flourish is sometimes difficult to come by.  But we can seek out quiet moments and spaces where we can open our eyes and hearts to encounters with unknown possibilities from which solutions might emerge. 
Drawing can help us visualize alternative futures.
