If you happen to follow us on Twitter, Google+, or Facebook, chances are you’ve seen many of these quotes before because I frequently share them when I need to remind myself of their timeless message.
I hope they will speak to you as well . . .

“Art is not a thing, it is a way.” ~Elbert Hubbard

“The object isn’t to make art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.” ~Robert Henri
