"If
what you choose to paint comes from the heart, and you are skillful enough, it
will resonate somehow within someone else. It is absurd to imagine that
the magnitude of a work is somehow connected to the accepted importance of its
subject (or the artist)... Let your subject come from within you and be a
simple act of sharing . In a sense, every work you do is a self-portrait
because your paintings always reveal more about you than about your subject.
Your experience of something, not the something itself, is the true
underlying subject of every work you do. Ultimately, that is how your
work, or that of any other artist, will be judged."
