I believe that a person's work is a reflection of his inner vision.
If sincere work is less than it should be
                   it is because of some inner blindness or darkness.
Hence the artist is constantly searching for light or truth
                                             to reveal more clearly this inner vision.
            It is a very personal and a very universal search.

The greatest help comes from those who are seeking
                    or who,
                                 in the past,
                                             have sought and found
                                                       at least a glimmer of artistic truth.
So, bit by bit,
                    our vision grows brighter
and, in turn,
                    we may be able to pass on to others
                                                 a little of what we have learned.
