Artist inspiration and artist influences. No biographies, dates or scholarly research here - this is a personal response to environmental and land art by Australian artist Fiona Morgan.

It occurred to me that it might be a good/enjoyable/worthwhile/useful idea to do a regular post on my influences and showcase other artists or stuff that has made me stop and go 'wow'. Useful for me to have a reference. Fun to do. Enlightening for my followers.

And so to begin. The Found Creatures were influenced by both the constraints of intended travel, and these artists who all use natural found objects. I love their work. All these pieces are both beautiful and, to me, have that something extra. Soul. Spirit. Spark. I'm not sure how to define it.

Anyhoo, as pictures tell so much more than words, instead of me rabbiting on about different artists and their techniques, here are examples of works that have inspired me and stretched my mind:

The Creative Cauldron series of posts explores and showcases the visual styles, techniques, attitudes, ideas, artists and paintings that have had the most impact on me. 

The rest of the series is accessible via the Creative Cauldron page. Have a meander if you please, and remember to check out my artworks on Flickr, and have an insider peek at life as an artist on Facebook.
