ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting is inspired by what it takes to lead a creative life: a lot of time in solitude. An artist can often wonder if a life like this is enough. I’ve wondered this often out loud to friends. I made this painting in response to their encouragement to me, that what I create and share is helpful to others. Against our fears as artists that we aren’t contributing anything significant to the world, creation in isolation can actually be one of the greatest services to others.
The space and all the things in it are aspirational and give me a chance to “decorate” using images I’ve collected over the years. The space can also be a symbol for the inner world or potential projects of a creative person.
