"I grew up pretty much as everybody grows up and one day seven years ago found myself saying to myself - I can't live where I want to - I can't even say what I want to - Schools and things that painters have taught me even keep me from painting as I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to and say what I wanted to when I painted as that seemed to be the only thing I could do that didn't concern anybody but myself - that was nobody's business but my own."
- Georgia O'Keefe
(from the book, A Woman On Paper by Anita Pollitzer)
