I am trying with all my skill to do a painting that is all woman, as well as all of me.

Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.

If one could only reproduce nature, and always with less beauty than the original, why paint at all?

It is really so nice here-country-busy-busy with so many different kinds of things-... I must say I feel far away in another world here-... always we go to a new place...the people have a kind of gentleness that isn't usual on the mainland.

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.

The meaning of a word - to me - is not as exact as the meaning of a color. Colors and shapes make a more definite statement than words.

I don't see why we ever think of what others think of what we do – no matter who they are. Isn't it enough just to express yourself?
