There is something so precious about being home, feeling at home, knowing where we are, and being at ease with our surroundings. I heard Frank Gearhy speak this evening and he is absolutely the most modest man when it comes to the effect of his dynamic spaces on the lives of so many. He was musing about the "why" of it all. Why do we create, what motivates us? And his conclusion was that we create to have an impact on others. In his case, he feels rewarded by making people feel good.
I create to bring more beauty into this world. I pondered the question of "Why do I create?" many years before realising that I was making it way more complicated than it needed to be. So why would I help someone design a place where they can repose? Or why would I help an artist design a studio that stimulates the brain? Or why would I help create a garden that gives back based on what you put forth? Why not??
