The Power of Everyday Creativity
Emily Eisenhart | TEDxUTAustin

What if creativity wasn’t reserved for artists, but something we could all tap into every day? In this heartwarming and visually rich talk, abstract artist Emily Eisenhart invites us to rediscover the world through the eyes of a child. Drawing from her upbringing in a home that valued curiosity, her deep connection to nature, and her background in anthropology and design, Eisenhart shows how wonder, observation, and play can reawaken our creativity. From shadow patterns to city sidewalks, she reveals how beauty and inspiration are everywhere—if we just take the time to look. This talk is a reminder that creativity isn’t something we grow out of, it's something we can reignite. Emily Eisenhart turns the world into her canvas. From kinetic sculptures to sky-high murals, she is dedicated to infusing cities with art and creativity.
