BLOOM believes...
Cultivating craft unleashes creativity.
Learning tools-of-the-trade and working within structured limitations can free us from decision paralysis, perfectionism, and self-judgement.
Like plants, humans flourish in supportive environments.
Whether it's from your own mind or an external community, critics shut us down; cheerleaders make us brave.
(TIP: Find & be cheerleaders)

People are artists & Artists people!
If you weren't creative, you wouldn't have survived this long. Whether it's your passion, an occasional curiosity, or something else entirely, you're an artist.
(No matter what Mr. So-and-So might have said in 6th grade).
The fact that artists are people might seem obvious, but for those working for hire or commodifying their creations, it's easy to forget:
you're a person, not an art-making robot.
(Those exist too, now, but they can't replace YOU).
