Adaptable and versatile… this is us now. 

We found new ways of communicating and different mediums of expression.  It is fitting then that the title of our Artist’s Talk is “The Art of Innovation, Inspiration and Creativity” by Michael Joseph.

One can say that innovation, inspiration and creativity describe Michael’s life.  His success is a life-long journey of seizing or creating opportunities, keeping motivated and having self-confidence.  He explains this so eloquently in the video.

Trivia:  For over 15 years, Michael was involved with over 30 schools, the last eight of which was using his flying and engineering background to sort out all the safety issues and priorities.  Doing what?  Building electric racing cars with the students!

When asked about...

Inspiration: "A lot of good ideas come up in the middle of the night - when you are in a strange state of half-dream, half reality..."

"I keep a little ideas book for those little observations, especially with emotional things I find fascinating to work with and interpret."

Motivation:  “This is up to you; you really want to have to do this.  You will have good days and bad days, you will make mistakes, you will have to start again…  You will have people complain, people will knock you down.  You have to get beyond that, you have to get through it, you have to be determined.”

“Make a start, just get going."
