• En algún lugar dentro de todos nosotros hay un centro sin palabras, una parte de nosotros que espera ser inmortal de alguna manera, una parte que ha permanecido inmutable desde que éramos niños, la fuente de nuestra fuerza y compasión. De esta tenue confluencia de lo tangible y lo espiritual es de donde surge el Arte. No tiene límites conocidos, y una vez que entres en él te darás cuenta de las opciones verdaderamente ricas que tienes. Que cada cuadro que pintes desde ese lugar sagrado incluya una expresión de gratitud por el extraordinario privilegio de ser artista.

• The American Heritage Dictionary defines crucible as "a place, time, or situation characterized by the confluence of powerful intellectual, social, economic, or political forces; a severe test of patience or belief; a vessel for melting material at high temperatures." A crucible was the vessel in which medieval alchemists attempted to turn base metals into gold. That the alchemists inevitably failed in their audacious attempts doesn't denigrate the power of the crucible as a metaphor for the circumstances that cause an individual to be utterly transformed.
