Kelly Borsheim Quotes



Quotes by Kelly Borsheim - (20 quotes)

Kelly Borsheim - From the Anticipation category:

Set up the next step at the end of each day's work – mark the stone where it needs to be cut next – quickly dab on a contrasting and exaggerated tone over the problem one in the painting and purposely do not fix it until the next morning. (Kelly Borsheim)

Kelly Borsheim - From the Children category:

When elementary schools include art programs in the curriculum, children do better with math. (Kelly Borsheim)

Kelly Borsheim - From the Choices category:

It is good to re-examine our positions to make sure if our choices are the right ones for us, as long as we do not spend the majority of our lives in this potentially counterproductive activity. (Kelly Borsheim)

Kelly Borsheim - From the Collectors category:

Many people simply do not trust their own taste. Having someone else - other than the artist - tell them the work is good often gives them 'permission to buy.' (Kelly Borsheim)

Kelly Borsheim - From the Creativity category:

The creative effort is a lot like sex. It's not so much the equipment you have as what is in your mind. The real excitement and beauty is in what we think and feel and what we do about it. (Kelly Borsheim)

Art has more power when there is more of a person's soul in it. (Kelly Borsheim)

We artists are the ones who perpetuate the myth of poverty. If we do not believe we can and should earn well for our work, that takes years of training like any other profession, then no one else will either. (Kelly Borsheim)

Kelly Borsheim - From the Questions category:

While painting years ago, someone asked the question, 'What is it you are trying to say?' I was stumped. You mean I have to say something? (Kelly Borsheim)

Kelly Borsheim - From the Recognition category:

Intent is a tool, not an obstacle, to seek spontaneity. (Kelly Borsheim)
