Creativity through the lens of an Artist at large

"To me, creativity is like oxygen"

David Lee Csicsko is an internationally recognized and celebrated designer and artist currently living and working in Chicago, Illinois. During his 30 year career, David has engaged in a wide variety of projects at nearly every scale; from small privately commissioned prints to his more recent explorations of the possibilities inherent in working with stained glass and mosaics at large scales. These monumental projects have included work for hospitals, universities, elementary schools, churches, and various private homes. His many credits include designing the Obamas’ White House Christmas in 2012.

While David’s aesthetic and striking use of color and pattern is distinctive, each project he engages in is entirely unique. Through his work, David celebrates the diversity and richness of the human imagination, and expresses the joys of life through his dynamic use of color, bold graphics and playful patterns. David’s lively illustrations can also be seen in The Skin You Live In from the Chicago Children’s Museum, now in its 16th printing.

Creativity through the lens of an author

"It's about just playing, it's simple hearted play."

Neil Mach was born and raised in England's "Rockin' Surrey." He enjoys bragging that he was born in the same year as the opening of Liverpool's Cavern Club, Elvis' performance at the Jailhouse, and Lennon and McCartney's first meeting at a church picnic. He has three sisters, though no brothers. During his early school years, Neil had instruction in ballet, tap dancing, and theatrical performing, so most of his role models were strong women. Although he was viewed as a Billy Elliot type character by neighbourhood boys (and his own father) he had plenty of supportive girlfriends.

Midway through the 1970s, Neil joined the Met Police in London, where he spent the next 35 years on the front line. He worked in various roles and in many squads and specialist departments. Neil amassed a number of accolades and distinctions, including several commendations for diligence and tenacity. He was blown up, fired upon (at least three times), and stabbed, all while performing his duties.

Upon retiring from the public sector, Neil concentrated on writing books. His stories usually feature strong female role models and the ideas of duty and loyalty. Neil has published nineteen (19) titles.

Neil is a frequent podcaster and blogger who enjoys talking about his ideas on where fiction and reality begin and end. He enjoys working with young authors as a creativity counsellor to encourage and foster their imaginative vision, improve their mental  imagery, and help new writers understand how best to use their mind's eye.

Neil and his wife of over 40 years, Sue, reside in a modest cottage on the River Thames in Surrey. They have two grown daughters, and two grand-children. Neil has a variety of interests outside writing. These  include cooking, gardening, and costume role-playing.

Neil believes his grandmother’s side affords him a Romani ancestry. He characterizes himself as a broad-minded Catholic. Neil read art and literature at the Open University. In 2012 he accomplished a degree level apprenticeship in Customer Service.

Creativity through the lens of a Cognitive Scientist (MCs), Idea Enthusiast, & Caffeinated Writer.

"There aren't any moments in time when we are not creative"

My work as a scientist and author is fueled by a passion for exploring what it means to think, what thoughts look like, where they come from, and what they mean.

I began with an Undergraduate Degree (Hnrs) in Cognitive Science, Specializing in the Biological Foundations of Cognition, and continued on to complete my Master’s of Cognitive Science (MCs.), both at the Institute of Cognitive Science of Carleton University. This has enabled me to do exciting work while learning from and working with incredible people both in private and public industry.

When I’m not busy writing, reading, or learning how much more I have to learn in a vast universe of knowledge, you can find me writing my book, running, hanging with my dog, playing video games, or trying new foods with friends.

Creativity through the lens of an entrepreneur, author and speaker

"You don't just go with stock answers. You look for other ways to get things done, other ways to live, other ways to exist, other ways to find happiness." 

Kim Sorrelle is an entrepreneur, director of a humanitarian organization, popular speaker, and the author of two books. Her first book, Cry Until You Laugh, is about her breast cancer journey and her husband's battle with pancreatic cancer after being diagnosed just four months apart. Her second book, Love Is, chronicles her year-long quest to figure out the true meaning of love, a sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always enlightening journey that led to life-changing discoveries found mostly on the streets of Haiti.
