The Beauty of Discovery

Now and then it strikes me as wonderful that I have the sort of life where an aspect of my work is to search out what’s beautiful, workable, useful or captivating.

The discovery process itself can be a thing of beauty. We go forth with a spark from the depths of our minds. It takes shape in words, paint or pixels, perhaps in solid form… such an array of media to choose from. Our ideas develop complexity and are refined, the glow of anticipation builds, and finally the full glorious concept is brought to light.

Just seeing what’s OUT THERE and waiting to be appreciated or to become part of a new creation will often fascinate me. Nature itself is mysterious and extraordinary; and many members of humankind are capable of greatness.

I think we tend to forget that sometimes, when so much discussion appears to concentrate on the failures of societies or individuals.

So I try to counteract this negativity by championing the ability of creative people to brainstorm and to turn daydreams into reality, hoping that someday my own existence will be seen as an example of adventure, creation and discovery.
