The discipline of body sculpting for me is a creative endeavor. Like writing music or philosophy, in body sculpting, I find that the majority of creation-process derives from  intuition and practice – daily practice (lots of it!). The true artist, at the end of the day, can only hope to reveal something of God and/or nature in a uniquely individualized form through a particular medium - and if the artist is to ever have merit, he/she must perpetually and rigorously refine his/her skill of creating in whatever medium to which he/she is inclined. In the creative discipline of body sculpting, the nature of the God-given body is the medium with which the artist works. God’s beautiful nature can be revealed in the symmetry , balance, and proportion of the aesthetic human body. As in all human creation, God is the architect and we are builders – our work will be reflected in a pre-existing design or capacity. The body sculptor would never tamper with the architect’s blueprints (no steroids or growth hormones), not because of an ethical objection (although there may be one), but because the beauty of the creation will be synthetically diminished/degraded (and there is, at minimum, a subconscious recognition of this in the mind’s eye of the beholder).  Every dynamic of body sculpting should be approached from the creative perspective of any artist - there are basics to which the artist must adhere, but the nuances of the process should be entirely from the soul of the artist himself/herself.
