The Diversities of Gifts

The story behind the creation of The Diversities of Gifts is one of many close calls. Many times I told myself “I can’t do this. I won’t be ready in time. I’ll just finish this photo later.” But a New Year’s resolution I made back in January helped me to push through and complete the task. To finally, after three long years, finish Daughters of the King. I don’t believe I’ve felt such an immense amount of relief since I took my last exam in April of 2013, a few short days before I graduated from university and said goodbye [...]

I don’t even hide the fact that I have terrible road rage (believe me, I do!), I can’t say no to thrift store excursions, and that I am and always will be an Arkansan at heart. There are some things, though, I don’t talk about much on the blog and so today I thought I’d [...]

The Intersection of Creativity and Inspiration

I've been thinking lately about what creativity would be without inspiration, and I've come to one conclusion: Creativity is nothing without inspiration. One simply cannot exist without the other. They provide the fuel for each other, a constant cycle that slowly grows and grows in intensity and strength until people can only stare in awe at what the artist’s mind has seen. I feel this way with people like James C. Christensen, Kirsty Mitchell, and other artists I look up to. Artists who have dared to do what their hearts have whispered to them, who have listened to the sources of [...]
