Sometimes sitting in an air conditioned studio under a bank of fluro lights, with a library of art books on hand and the art supplies shop just up the road, would seem like the perfect scenario for most artists. However, there are some artists who find that the challenge of the unfamiliar, even the uncomfortable, offers an incredible injection into their creativity.
