I’m happy to have discovered you here, thanks to Kelly Russo. Your art is so exciting! The “inspiration finds you working” notion came to me in my 30s, when I was experiencing writer’s block. I was waiting for something worthy of writing about to happen but life felt stagnant. After much grief and struggle, it came to me that inspiration doesn’t happen to me, I create it through work and play, through curiosity and action. Best discovery I’ve made yet on my creative journey! Thank you for sharing some of your creative process—it’s very generous of you. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much Trish. And yes, took me ages too to realize that waiting to feel like creating something, for inspiration to strike, is a waste of time. I do wonder if it's something we all have to discover for ourselves though. It's not that people hadn't told me. I just didn't think they knew what they were talking about... ahem :)
