She has said in interviews she reads a lot and draws inspiration from classic literature. And I think many of us look for inspiration from within and often struggle, other creative people can be an fantastic inspiration whether listening to pieces of music, reading poetry or having a great conversion with other artists.<br /><br />Be open Muses can can come along when we least expect it :)<br /></span>tambatoyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00065603309115532982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31154863.post-58130976433889355742008-01-25T19:59:00.000-08:002008-01-25T20:09:55.871-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y0wf4Qvieos/R5qwdeHYlfI/AAAAAAAAAGU/4hoNMaHAeJc/s1600-h/ilovebecause.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Y0wf4Qvieos/R5qwdeHYlfI/AAAAAAAAAGU/4hoNMaHAeJc/s400/ilovebecause.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159630343453054450" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-family: verdana;">Had a very inspiring last weekend, saw some great artwork and felt truly moved.
