The true artist is not interested in having a nice life, being comfy or fitting in, but rather sees himself as a benefactor. His goal is to make a contribution to life, and to this end there are no barriers, doors or blocks, but only wide open spaces. -Brian Simmons
We bring vast imagination and fantasy to people, a reminder to keep going, even when people say we live in another world and our feet are not on the ground. A good response is, "Well, my world is rather nice--why don't you visit it sometime?" - Corrie Scott
The Artist submits from day to day to the fatal rhythm of the impulses of the universal world which encloses him, continual centre of sensations, always pliant, hypnotized by the marvels of nature which he loves, he scrutinizes. His eyes, like his soul, are in perpetual communion with the most fortuitous of phenomena. - Odilon Redon
There are four artists: There is the artist you think you are, the artist you wish you were, the artist you want others to think you are, and the artist that you are. If you spend too much time thinking about all this, you may never find out who the last one is! - Susan Holland
An Artist is more than the person who puts brush to canvas, notes to page, clay to form, etc. An Artist is an actual State of Being, one that moves both inside and outside the realms of a studio or creative work. It is a way of living, of perceiving, and most of all, of sharing. - Patrice Donnelly
Being an artist is like being an Olympic athlete: years of sweat and dedication to build up skills, lots of sacrifice along the way, lots of obstacles to overcome. All that, and no gold, silver, or bronze medals. - Theresa Bayer
If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud. - Emile Zola
