Roots

The Inspiro 8 Studios team visited Greenville's "Open Studios" this past weekend, which is a local venue where artists open up their studios to the public for a time to meet and greet and mingle among their works. It's amazing the talent that is out there! It's humbling and inspiring all at the same time.

We left the event challenged, thinking of the direction of our studios and what we produce. The one common element we saw in all of the studios was "process". Never did you see a finished work of art without numerous sketches and thought development in various media forms. It reminded us of how important the actual "process" of design is and how creative it can be along the way. It is always amazing how an initial "deviation" or "error" can ultimately create a masterpiece!

A great time if interspection and for us to see how important "the art of design" is. We are all inspired to push further into our own areas of artistic interest to see how they can only contribute more so to the design work we produce.
