"If you are working from a clean, true need to paint, there's a kind of focus that forces you to be honest. We think we're making the paintings, but the paintings are also making us." --Leigh Hyams
This Incredible Fact of Being Alive:
"I remember writing somewhere that art took me over before life did. I think of myself, and other artists, as the growing edge of a 30,000-year old body of people who made the drawings in the caves, the Pompeii murals, Sumi-e paintings, Rembrandt, Picasso, Grandma Moses. The artists before us were helping to keep the world alive, as working artists are today. We just happen to be occupying the universe at this moment. It's humbling. It gives me courage and pleasure, and some perspective"
