If a muse knocked at our studio door tomorrow, how many of us would even notice?

Technical achievement without vision is only craft.

Stroke followed stroke with the velocity of light. The movement of my hand was interrupted only by the act of changing colors.

Stop. Breathe. Allow yourself the luxury of doing nothing for a moment, or an hour, or even a day. It is in emptiness that inspiration will appear.

There is value in being free and spontaneous but the greatest power comes from seeing and using what results from that freedom.

Passion is the very fuel of inspiration.

I believe that every artist has his or her own vision of the world; our job as artists is to find and express that vision. The most important thing is to keep exploring, yourself and your materials.
