QUOTES!
We have eyes, and we're looking at
stuff all the time, all day long. And I
just think that whatever our eyes
touch should be beautiful, tasteful,
appealing, and important.

You, like the little

caterpillar, will grow
up, unfold your wings
and fly off into the
future.

The hardest part is

developing the idea,
and that can take
years.

The lovely feeling of my

pencil touching paper, a
crayon making a star shape
in my sketchbook, or my
brush dipping into bright and
colorful paints these things
affect me as joyfully today as
they did all those years ago.

Simplify, slow down,

be kind. And don't
forget to have art in
your life - music,
paintings, theater,
dance, and sunsets.
