Alive Quote by Joseph Plaskett

“The art that I make and that I see others make confirms the miracle of being alive. Almost every day I live in a state of exaltation. The art of painting is to me sacred. It is central to all the other visual arts. This art is in a constant state of renewal.” quote by Joseph Plaskett — Download Open image
