The human condition inspires me.  Who are we?  How do we fit into society?  What are cultural norms, and should they be questioned, nibbled at, broken?

People and how they appear, dress and act fascinate me as they navigate society.  It is hard to be human, and it is a challenge to create a kind and thoughtful society.

My inspirations are not hard to find.
