To achieve this clarity is inevitably to be understood. Mark Rothko There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it. Jim Dine The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration. Freida Kahlo If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint. Keith Haring Believe it or not, I can actually draw. Georg Baselitz Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish. Michelangelo Buonarroti (Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni) "Artists are granted a certain freedom: the license to create other worlds. Whether abstract or graphic configurations, earthworks or photo conceptualist images, the moment a thing is called art it lives in a certain framework of perception: it is viewed as something which is not merely part of human existence, but is an expression of the artist's perception of existence. Art is a vehicle through which we can be transported to other realms of human consciousness; intellectual, emotional, or transcendent. As a painter, I take liberty with this freedom and each series becomes an opportunity to explore visual language in a fresh direction, challenging my skills and stretching my visual vocabulary. To be bold and engage in the heady adventure of creation requires faith in the ephemeral, faith that visions must be made manifest, that something of what you mean to express will be understood."
