The speaker transitioned from a casual painter to a serious one after leaving a magazine job. They embarked on a project to understand how artists think, starting with friends and expanding to various artists like portrait painters, abstract painters, and musicians. The project involved delving into the artists' state of mind during the creative process rather than just the practical steps. The goal was to help artists ponder on how they achieved their creations without fearing they would lose their creative touch. The conversation also touches on the influence of inspirational figures like poet Louise Glick and the impact of their work on the speaker's career. Traits like being able to introspect and question their creative process seemed to be common among the artists interviewed.
