“Your work is to discover your world, and then with all your heart give yourself to it.” ~ Buddha

Artists are inspired in all different ways and by all different things. The imagination, everyday life, seeing works of other artists and art in other forms such as books, films or music might inspire an artist to create. Something as simple as a color or shape might set in motion, the creativity of an artist.

Most artists are led by their hearts and emotions rather than being led  by  market trends,  but market research never hurts. Looking at the practical side of things, the goal of most artists is to sell their work.  Even placing art work in galleries appropriate to the genre of art that an artist offers, can mean the difference between selling the work or not.

Artists – what do you think? Is it worth giving up personal fulfillment to paint only what the art market wants ?Or do you paint only what inspires and delights you? We would like to hear what leads you to your subject?
