"Find the artists who are on your wavelength and continuously increase that list." ~Irwin Greenberg

"Artists cannot be micro-managed. We can take heart that everything we do is different than the last thing we did – or indeed everything that's ever been done. That knowledge is the key to sound mentoring." ~Robert Genn

"Mentoring is an indispensable requirement for an artist's growth. Not only are skills and experience shared, but there is value in the essential re-examination of one's own work and techniques." ~Jim Norman

"I've learned... that the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am." ~Andy Rooney

"Both mentors and tormentors have something to teach us." ~Stewart Wachs

"Serious collectors that I know are focused on the art. They are not looking for a decorative item, or a good investment. There is some aspect of the work itself that has hooked them." ~Eleanor Blair

"To create is to relate. We trust in the artist in everybody to make his own connections, his own juxtapositions." ~Sister Corita

"When one buys some of my artwork I hope it is because they will wish to learn from it and not because they think it will match their drapes!" ~ Christian Cardell Corbet

"The longer you spend working on something – loving it into being, almost – the more you get attached. It's silly, but you do hope they go to good homes." ~Anne Desmet

"Let's work hard, but take the pressure off ourselves and have some fun with the process. Otherwise, what is the point?" ~ Gaye Adams

"It is so much fun exploring each new small advance. Magic happens with a series. It's wonderful to trust your inner instincts and turn off the brain chatter now and then." ~Jean Bradley

"There is a sort of mediated ecstasy that occurs when you actually do the "work" of painting. That is to say, you can't have too much fun." ~Brett Busang
