Decorating our walls has always been a challenge. I would love to have some original artwork, but the cost has always been too prohibitive. At the same time, I feel artists should be fairly compensated for their work. How does one reconcile this?

Although I have many years of formal education, most of what I've learned has come from experimenting and trying to solve problems on my own. Once an idea for a project is set in my mind, it is all-consuming and one must learn everything possible about the subject on the way to the outcome. For learning is more than reading books and spoken word, it is hours of frustration, trial and error, and one sudden flash of insight when the world magically makes sense. It is during this moment when I am truely alive.
