“I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.” Vincent Van Gogh The creative process is not something an artist choses to do, it is something we have to do. When I paint, I am transported to another world; one of dreams, promises and possibilities. I can create my own universe. I express my vision of color and light, value and passion. My art becomes a piece of my soul that I share with the world. Creativity takes courage. — Henri Matisse Color is my day-long obsession, joy, and torment. — Claude Monet True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist. —- Albert Einstein
