Motivation for work generally comes about from an impulse to become involved with the creative process itself, with a sudden excitement to "play" with shape and form,pattern and colour.
Inspiration can be set off by any manner of things, usually visual, informing a compulsion to re-arrange perceived and imagined images in ones own order.
A long term interest in the decorative arts, design and dress can have an element of influence in some form.
Certain environmental and social issues can also resonate.
Work is mostly intuitive and once a piece is commenced, progress then follows its own direction.
Chosen media can also be stimulating and varies depending upon available at-the-moment working spaces, from the kitchen table to a professional studio environment.
