Inspiration begins with the every day happenings and is inspired by reading, looking and creative risk-taking.

Currently Reading…

- “The Creative Habit” by Twyla Tharp ( re-reading)

- “Eliminating Chaos”, by Laura Leist (practical ideas/ organizing)

- “Underland” by Robert MacFarland (reading over time}

Looking at artists…

J. M. W. Turner …for his energetic paintings of stormy waters and crashing waves

Yayoi Kusama.. for her ability to evoke spiritual connections with the grief of others by immersing the viewer in an exhibit that uses mirrored reflections to underscore the fact that we are all in this together. It’s personal!

Yayoi Kusama Chandelier of Grief (mirrored room)
