“I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.”

“Art isn't only a painting; it's anything that changes someone for the better, any nonanonymous interaction that leads to a human (not simply a commercial) conclusion.”

“Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.”

“Art changes posture and posture changes innocent bystanders.”

“The competitive advantages the marketplace demands is someone more human, connected, and mature. Someone with passion and energy, capable of seeing things as they are and negotiating multiple priorities as she makes useful decisions without angst. Flexible in the face of change, resilient in the face of confusion. All of these attributes are choices, not talents, and all of them are available to you.”

“That's your opportunity--to approach your work in a way that generates unique learning and interactions that are worth sharing.”

“Leadership, on the other hand, is about creating change you believe in.”
