to paint something is to honour it and to try to know it

talent is 90%practice
this learned as a portrait artist at Canada’s Wonderland at the age of 16 and from the dedication and courage of students

less time equals greater productivity
this learned in life after kids, when a free hour started to glimmer like gold

artists need art
this learned while weeping at a concert or collapsing in front of a Joyce Weiland painting at the AGO or catching the scent of an art magazine

artists need artists and they generally would like coffee too
this learned in the sculpture and printmaking studios of the University of Guelph and through inspiring painter friends who offer me blobs of paint from their very own tubes — thank you all!
