A visit to a museum is a search for beauty, truth, and meaning in our lives. Go to museums as often as you can.

My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.

Wonderful things happen when your brain is empty.

Go out and walk. That is the glory of life.

You'd have to be completely crazy not to be influenced by and take from other artists. It's completely impossible not to.

The most inspiring objects are books. I have about 5,000 volumes in my home library. It's an unending source of visuals and ideas.

I live in a small world of gouache and brush and pen and ink. I'd like to explore the world of multiples - etching and prints.
