“For an artist, the minute you become comfortable is the minute you’re no longer searching for your truth.”
Nancy Hillis, The Artist's Journey: Bold Strokes To Spark Creativity

“Find joy in your life. It is later than you think.”
Nancy Hillis, The Artist's Journey: Bold Strokes To Spark Creativity

“For an artist, the big transformation takes place when you finally learn to trust yourself and give yourself permission to play. As you allow yourself to explore, experiment, and not know what’s going to happen when you make a mark on your canvas, you’ll find that this is when surprising and unpredictable images emerge.”
Nancy Hillis, The Artist's Journey: Bold Strokes To Spark Creativity
