Painting a Picture of the Creative Mind

The first in a 2-part series on art and creativity, in the SF Chronicle.

"That's one way of getting at the fascinating paradox of any artistic endeavor. Only by mastering certain rigorous skills and navigating a highly conscious sequence of decisions can an artist hope to unlock the deep chambers of human experience that make the end results matter. It's in this delicate negotiation of craft and inspiration, conscious choices and the summons of the unconscious, that art finds its form and communicative power."
