New information stimulates my creative process. I need it, love it, can't live without it. Appreciation of life and nature provide this for me. Quelching the thirst for stimulation through the quaffing all that is around me. Smelling the sweet fragrance of the peach blossoms, listening to the mellifluous sound of the a soft breeze that brushes gently against your ear on a warm sunny summer day. Experienceing local society, engaging the unlikely friend. Reversing perspectives changing angles looking through mirrors. If I didn't, I would let let life pass me by transforming the verdant rain forest my life is into an arid desert of monotony that it has become for so many. Art is my way of giving this stimulation back to those whom have been so kind to share with me in the hope that I may supply some irrigation to others.
