"Consider Everything an Experiment"- Corita Kent

“One of the things my career as an artist might say to young artists is: The things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best. And unless you photograph what you love, you are not going to make good art.” – Sally Mann

"Every thoughtful decision we make in life requires the evaluation of argument--every, single, one."

“You learn for yourself not for others, not to show off, not to put the other one down. Learning is your secret; it is all you have. It is the only thing you can call your own. Nobody can take it away…” - Louise Bourgeois

"The only safe thing is to take a chance." - Mike Nichols

“Artists and scientists are activists. They look at the world as changeable and they look upon themselves as instruments for change. They understand that the slice of world they occupy is only a fragment but that the fragment is intrinsically connected to the whole. They know that action matters.” Anne Bogart, What's the Story: Essays about art, theater and storytelling

"Art can be a powerful tool for creating and strengthening the interpersonal relationships between individuals and communities that form meaning in our lives. Artists should use this power for good by creating work that inspires others to use their own imagination and talents to build a better future for all creatures everywhere."
