SOME PEOPLE WHOSE WORK I JUST LOVE
Here are twelve creative artists to whom I tip my hat (some of them a little closer to home than others). I particularly admire the way they all follow their own distinctive paths in their work.
Another great creator, Albert Einstein, once wrote that as a child he became convinced that ‘something deeply hidden had to be behind things’. Artists like these twelve take me, for one, closer to that hidden something. So do many others who crop up elsewhere on this site, all ploughing their own distinctive furrows to such uplifting effect. I am astounded by the riches on offer.
