Q: Can you tell me about your creative process?
A: My what? I’m not sure what that is. Hmmm. I’ve never verbalized it before. What I do is so
much a part of me, of my life.
Q: Ok. Let’s break it down. What do you do to get yourself ready to be creative? How does it all
work for you?
A: Well once I’m inspired to be creative I set up my surroundings so that I am comfortable to
creative. Mostly it includes alone time with either music playing or a show I find relaxing. I
normally have coffee or tea.
Q: What inspires you to be creative?
A: Hmm. Sometimes places inspire me like Colorado. Sometimes certain people. Could be a song or
a movie.
Q: And then what happens?
A: Well then I would start drawing or writing. I also prefer to do art during the day because of the
sun light. Once I’ve got an idea of what to write, I can write anywhere. I’ve done some of my best
work in Starbucks.
Q: Why do you create?
A: I don’t know. It’s fun and I enjoy it. I’ve always had the need to. I’ve done it all my life.
