Inspiration

Finding inspiration happens in about as many ways as there are people who experience it.
Often inspiration is an "aha" moment when you least expected it. It is an inspiration that often leads us to reflect on what exactly inspired us- whether it was a new way of looking at something like a colour that we have never really noticed before or a way of creating that seems so unique. We are inspired by people, places and things. Often these inspirations challenge us to find new ways of being and doing. Where do you find your inspiration?

Read on to find out what inspires Lyndsey...

My name is Lyndsey and I am an artist, a photographer, and I make handmade funky camera strapsThose are my big things, but the reality is, I'm always crafting something new, or finding some new creative outlet to become obsessive about!I live in a small one bedroom apartment with not a lot of space, so it's very important for me to stay organized and have a place for everything, and everything in it's place! I use lots of crates and boxes to store things in and labeling is key! If I don't, my mess spirals out of control, taking over my living room and bedroom in no time!!

Although my space is small, and I would love to move into something bigger this year, I love my wall to wall windows and the view! I also think it's important to have sources of inspiration displayed within your creative space. I don't have a lot of room for too much or things will get too cluttered but I do have a few. One of the photos I have included are small cut-out drawings that were giving to me about 5 years ago by a girl who has an intellectual disability. I had written a newspaper article about her and her art, and she gave me these character drawings as a thank you. They are very special to me and will always be a source of inspiration for me!
