Every day we process and analyze millions of messages and images. Some of this input resonates with us and we in turn find it a source of inspiration. I’ve been asked many times what inspires me from an artistic standpoint and I am often inspired by emotions, nature, light and colour. Nature in particular is appealing to me as photographic inspiration. In my art practice, flowers and organic forms permeate my work. Often my acrylic paintings are inspired by emotional responses to feelings, music, and surroundings. All these endless sources of inspiration everyday create a unique opportunity for me to translate my experiences through and into my art.
Colour has always been a source of great inspiration. The rainbow is alluring don’t you think? Blues and greens dominate my interior decor. Blue with it’s soothing qualities and green with it’s ability to invigorate and rejuvenate. I really do thrive in colourful environments. The bold bright colours of the Caribbean or Italian Riviera have allured me for years.
In essence, these sources of inspiration reaffirm my need to share my sensory experiences through my art practice. Be it photography, painting or interior design.
Look around and ask yourself, “what inspires you?”
