Browsing through my website, you will see certain items that combine the simple geometry of hand-cut painted (or stained) wood pieces with organic and decorative elements. One of these beautiful creations is a decorative candleholder centerpiece I named Waterfall. This week, I thought I’d share an inside look at the process of creating this piece. As with all my creations, this design has a story: a story of inspiration, design modification, and hard work. The project started as a vision of a candleholder centerpiece that tiers downward like a small rocky stream in some secluded forest. I drew some quick thumbnails and idea sketches before settling on a design like the rendering below.

Do you ever stop to think about what inspires you? What hits the most sensitive nerve and resonates in a way that is too deep for words? You don’t have to be an artist to be inspired, though artists are more inclined to listen, and create an interpretation. Inspiration is the spark that happens during that moment of private meditation. It’s that moment when the universe opens the door just a crack—just enough to get a peak at something bigger than yourself. We recognize the things we love and admire, but inspiration is something more mysterious. Inspiration is the moment we look at one thing but see something else. We dream, and then we try to create. Merriam-Webster defines inspiration as “a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation”.
