Sometimes I feel more like an innovator than a creator. Nature can be overwhelming and profound. My butterfly garden is a small sample of inspiration, or taking photos with a digital camera. Creative ideas spin from nature’s composition or anything man made and convoluted. I enjoy exploring new mediums, making journal notes, examining good or bad examples of art and literature. (Note: Good, bad, and ugly are all matters of opinion.) Creation is a flow, sensitive to everything, and unleashed on anything. Ideas happen whilst riding bicycles at night or strolling aimlessly down countless streets for an artist’s date of serendipity. This town has a great energy which is evident through locally owned businesses, restaurants, coffee shops, pubs and galleries. The downtown architecture is encapsulating of the Old World and when combined with the bells ringing in the plaza and brick streets underfoot, as much a visual escape as auditory bliss. Survival lies in the ability to barter and trade any handmade art for money or other, plus the action…
