Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech. – Simonides
Painting is an extension of man’s means of communication As such, it’s pure, difficult, and wonderful. – Sidney Nolan
Art is our one true global language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible. – Richard Kamler
