If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.

I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.

I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

Even now / I am not old. / I never think of it, and yet / I am a grandmother to eleven grandchildren.

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.
