The definition for Inspiration is: “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.”

Inspiration comes from many places but it is necessary to know where to find it when it is necessary in order to pursue a very specific and precise venture or project.  Inspiration comes from anything that is direct or indirectly related to what we are interested in.  Then once you have found a particular inspiration, it is how you go about applying this to your work, do you allow yourself to be heavily influenced by it and not give yourself much freedom by bounding yourself to this particular inspiration? Or do you allow it to lightly have an effect on your work by still allowing a generous amount of freedom? This is up to you.

My inspiration most often comes from nature, specifically the beach or forested areas.  I particularly like how there is a sense of freedom with nature and how there is such a variety of opportunities available that it can relate to any project I am working on. On a more human base I prefer to look no further than at my own family and other personal relationships and how each individual is different.  This can explain a variety of emotions and can be used to illustrate what can’t be expressed through normal words.
