For many people in the creative fields, the idea of the muse is profound and significant. These works revolve around the question of where inspiration come from and how it manifests itself. In these paintings, the muse form coalesces from the fire, water, mist and earth - the vestigial form begins to transform in an active, vital part of the creative process. The multiple arms indicate movement as well as the process of transformation and growth, much like the limbs on a tree are not confined to a particular structure but are more organic and can change moment by moment.
