When we let God be God and work through us, we experience both a sense of serenity and excitement.

Nothing dies harder than a bad idea. And few ideas are worse than the ones we have about art.

An artist requires the upkeep of creative solitude. An artist requires the healing of time alone. Without this period of recharging, our artist becomes depleted.

We meet our truth and we meet ourselves and we meet our self-expression.
