 "Clarity of painting comes from clarity of vision. A painter has to be emotionally right out there and present, both to perceive and to express. -Kate Palmer" (Jonathan Fields)

 "I'm beginning to challenge the assumption that the desire to piece together a multi-tentacled living is really about freedom. I'm wondering if "blending" interests is really the ultimate manifestation of fear and constraint." (Jonathan Fields)

 "I've circled around to the believe that honoring your own impermanence on a daily basis, owning the fact that you're going to leave the planet and you don't know when, can be an immensely freeing experience. Saddening at times, yes. But freeing and empowering nonetheless." (Jonathan Fields)

 "It's about how often we go through life accepting the conventions, decisions, rules and constraints that've been handed down by people closest to us and the society around us. And, how outright wrong, out-moded, outlandish and downright dangerous they can be when applied by rote, with neither knowledge of, nor care about the origins of all those bits of wisdom designed to make our lives more certain." (Jonathan Fields)
