Inspiration

The reality of the sudden creative impulse is undeniable.


It leaps from the cool darkness of the unconscious with diamond brilliance, draws together scattered yet critical glimpses of ideas into conceptual clarity, and unites vision and act in the expression of art.

Yet it strikes according to preparedness, and in the unique form of the individual artist, and so it is incumbent upon the artist to know, analytically and viscerally, the ways and means by which such personal visions come to bear upon the creative spirit and are realized through application of idea and method, if it is to be a continuous influx and constant force.

The prolific creativity of an elevated imagination and a steady hand is undeniable as well.
