"My world is so full of what I am doing that I don't think about anything else."

"Men are always trying to make me into a woman. But I don't want to be a woman. I want to be a painter."

"The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters."

"I have always been interested in the unknown. The way it calls to you."

"I wish people would not try to find out what I had to eat, or what I wear, or what I think about when I am not working."
