Quotes: Nicholas Wilton

"Over the years I have realized that actually my paintings are are [sic] not so much about what I end up with in the end, but surprisingly what I remove to arrive at that end. My art teaches me over and over again that in order to gain something of value I need also, to let many things go. In fact I no longer think of keeping things or giving things away as two different aspects of my art making but rather just one. This is a big part of what my art is about." 

–– Nicholas Wilton (b. 1961), American painter, teacher, and blogger
