"If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment."

"I had to get rid of all the things that weren't me."

"I know I can't paint a flower. I can't paint the sun on the desert on a bright summer morning... but maybe I can give you the idea of it."

"I believe it is important to be true to oneself, no matter what others may think."

"I have always been interested in the space between things. The space between colors, the space between forms."
