Where does inspiration come from for an artist? Some artists claim an inner voice, some point to a muse, but for me it is in my neighborhood. People are endlessly fascinating. Family and friends are my ‘familiars’, I know their stories - but strangers passing in the street or sitting on the skytrain are endless fascinating because their stories are hidden from me. When I have the time, I like to imagine their stories. What has caused that woman’s worry lines? Who does that old man work for? Does that girl shave her head to have power over something? What caused that man’s slow, sad walk? It is endlessly fascinating to wonder what secrets people possess. It’s endlessly invigorating to let my imagination out to play.
