The Fire of Inspiration
by Jennifer Dalton


*Fire-Dance* by Scot Borofsky

Many young artists have to hold down a job to make ends meet, and often that job begins to influence their artwork.


*Wave and Fire* by Coste

Painter Jim Murray has the unusual day job of fire-fighting, and it is clearly visible in his paintings of tangled, violent webs of red, orange and gray strands.


*Chaos* by Amy Mousley

Fire's chaotic energy can be a tantalizing subject for any artist. But Murray's intimate knowledge of and respect for smoke and fire bring a personal view to his powerful compositions. Each painting is an intimate look into a chaotic world of light, heat, and destruction.


*Through Fire* by Theo Kisch
