Inventiveness

Inspiration and ideas often arise seemingly out of nowhere and then fail to show up when we most need them and creative thinking requires complex cognition yet is completely distinct from the thinking process.

Psychologically speaking, creative personalities are difficult to pin down, largely they're complex, paradoxical and tend to avoid routine. Creativity involves the coming together of a multitude of traits, behaviors and social influences in a single person.

The world is a creative person's oyster they see possibilities everywhere & are constantly taking in information that becomes fodder for creative expression.

Insatiably curious they generally opt to live through intense conversation or solitary mind-wandering, looking at the world around them & want to know why & how, it is the way it is.

Artists are often stereotyped as being loners, Solitude can be the key to producing their best work. You need to get in touch with that inner monologue to be able to express it. To be truly inspired, you must learn to trust your instinct & your creative empathy.

I have a magpie attitude to inspiration seek it from all sorts of sources anything that allows me to think about how culture comes together. I'm always on the lookout by observing people in the street; watching films, reading, thinking about the conversations that I have. I consider the language of gestures people use, or the colours they're wearing. It's about taking all the little everyday things & observing them with a critical eye than building on your mental scrapbook.

We live in a different but inspiring world, and there is so much out there that I want to record. However you cannot photograph everything, so I have to select subjects that throw light on the relationship I have with the world.

Creativity is the act of making something from nothing. 

Your art does not have to be between the covers of a book or on a canvas to find an audience. The art is about transcribing emotion. If you keep loose, feel spontaneous and free, so will your art. You’ll find deep satisfaction in sharing a part of yourself.
