Creatrix Quotes

“Like falling in love or giving birth, the experience of creative inspiration
has been described by thousands of voices over the years. But it doesn’t
make it any easier to explain!”
― Lucy H. Pearce, Creatrix: She Who Makes

“The first book I wrote changed my life.
I have since learned that books have a tendency to do that. You start
writing them because you think you know enough about the subject, and
quickly and yourself undergoing a drastic education in every aspect of
yourself and the topic in order to bring forth the book.”

“Creativity is a form of magic, one that happens unseen in the dark, in
the space between the known and the unknowable”

“I see a creatrix as someone who uses his or her creativity to take the feminine wound and transform it. To take us from pain to power. To release the shame that keeps so many of us trapped and fearful. To give voice to authentic feminine experience – every bit as bold and loud and vibrant as it wants or needs to be.”

“Just as there are some who need to run daily to be fully alive, for some of us the desire to create, the need to dream and imagine and make things is as necessary as breathing.”

― Lucy H. Pearce, Creatrix: She Who Makes

“We do not need to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of our creativity – it can be a transformative mode of healing, rather than a drawn-out self-destruction.”
― Lucy H. Pearce, Creatrix: She Who Makes

“A creatrix is not simply a performer or entertainer – though these are elements of what she does – she is a dedicated shaper of consciousness and energy, a culture weaver, a dreamer and midwife of new worlds. She is an asker of uncomfortable questions and a liver of taboos in a world that expects conformity. She is answerable to her own intuition and sense of authenticity, and The Work itself. She follows the call of her soul above the demands of the world. She knows herself more deeply and sees herself more clearly through The Work.”
― Lucy H. Pearce, Creatrix: She Who Makes

“I believe that a creatrix is more than just a fancy name for a female artist. She is artist plus…artist plus priestess, artist plus healer, artist plus activist: her work has both sacred and worldly dimensions. She is an energy worker first and foremost, weaving energy into form, colour, words, sound, making meaning from symbols in order to transform herself and those her creations touch.”
― Lucy H. Pearce, Creatrix: She Who Makes

“To be a creatrix is to dedicate oneself to the cycle of creativity – to embodying soul, through impregnation, gestation, birth, nurturing and death in a way that is not really understood in our culture. It is to consciously engage directly with the forces of the Universe on a daily basis. The creatrix gestates her own content and births it out: her art is an expression of her inner world and a reflection of what she has sensed in the outer world. Through this sacred birthing she is transformed, as are those who witness the process or its products. In this sense the act of creative expression is a sacred act of communion for the community.”

“We don’t make art because we have perfect lives or immense privilege.
We create in order to live through the lives that have revealed themselves
through us, because of, in spite of, the chaos, the confusion, the grief, the
anger, the overwhelm, the terror, the trauma, the tragedy, the feeling of
powerlessness. We cannot control much of what happens to us in our lives,
but if creativity is our default processing response, our ability to heal and
transform is enabled.”
