INSPIRATION!
We all need it, and we all thrive with it - inspiration is that essence that causes us to strive without force. It is an inside passion, that place where we know that we have an extra source of fuel.
I seek inspiration and feel blessed to find it everywhere. A child says something cute, a cat poses unwittingly, a friend says the perfect words, an author writes something poignant, a character in a movie or story performs the heroic deed... even a TV commercial will sometimes hit that spot inside of me where I find myself melting in a puddle on the floor in a sea of inspired awe! I jot these ideas in a journal, to be translated into tangible form when the time is right.
Photographic Inspiration
Photography is a wonderful tool for capturing inspirational images. In some of the HLH Studio photographs I utilized digital manipulation or wording to achieve maximum effect, others are published just as they were photographed.

Illustrated Inspiration
I especially enjoy drawing or painting images designed from an inspirational thought or idea. This allows creation of anything the imagination conceives with the added purpose to encourage an uplifting or “can do” emotion. Scenery, subject matter, colors, proportion and focus are all choices limited only by ideas and skill. I endeavor to convey thoughts and concepts with the purpose of inspiring you in the way that I am inspired by the idea illustrated.
