“Painters are all storytellers, in one way or another.
We begin with a blank piece of white paper, which represents
the unlimited potential in all of us for beauty, creativity and imagination.
We paint with our soul; we all came from dancers, holy ones, storytellers
and the picture makers who painted on cave walls.” KCB
