Creative Mornings Illustration

This illustration is my visual response to the global theme of “Current”, chosen by my local Creative Mornings chapter in Columbia, Missouri. A fractured hourglass anchors the composition, its broken form releasing a slow stream of objects tied to time, direction, and creativity. Rather than sand, water flows through the structure, directly reinforcing the idea of current as something fluid and continuous. Electric cords weave throughout the scene, evoking the charged energy of creative thought as it pulses and connects. Interspersed natural elements, including flowers and leaves, introduce the current of life, grounding the piece in organic growth and transformation. Together, these elements create a surreal landscape where creativity operates as both an electric force and a living current: fluid, entangled, and in constant motion.
