The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
Aristotle
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Great art picks up where nature ends.
I find working with glass meditative, almost therapeutic. I can leave the world behind, and focus… The simplicity of form, the drama of rich, intense colour, the joy of challenge, and the challenge of endurance… The piece, when it is over, is not what is made, but how it is made.
Andrew Kuntz
Art does not solve problems but makes us aware of their existence. It opens our eyes to see and our brain to imagine.
