  • "I’m constantly trying to change the range of depth in my paintings; it’s like the painting falls off the edges, and I keep moving into the center. That’s how I know that a painting is finished—when I reach that point where you feel everything is flying at you and you’re just moving through it."
    —Lauren Quin
