It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.
I dream my painting and I paint my dream.
There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
I would rather die of passion than of boredom.
If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process.

Close friends are truly life’s treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
The only time I feel alive is when I’m painting.
