You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.

Making art has taught me that the tiniest smidgen of progress is something to be cherished.

What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.

As artists, we must learn to be self-nourishing. We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them.
