acceptance

I have come to terms with a lot of things, because, when all's said and done, there's really very little one can do about a lot of things. You just accept them. The point is you just have to keep on working and you just have to keep on living. (Jim Dine)

do artist need safety nets?

Thoughts on risks

playing it safe and

being uncomfortable

The outside wold pressures you into a mold, but if you don't accept that - you gamble with life. Call it gambling. (Louise Nevelson)

fire within

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin)

Alfredo Liongoren)

I work in bursts of energy... like mad fires let loose into nervous breakdowns. And it affected everyone in my life. Perhaps it was God's design to give me a wife who was trained as a psychiatric nurse. (Alfredo Liongoren)

living on the edge....without boundaries

benda

For me art is a continuous discovery into reality, an exploration of visual data which has been going on for centuries, each artist contributing to the next generation's advancement. I wanted to go a step further and extend the boundaries. (Audrey Flack)
