Into the Woods




Thomas Hart Benton said that there is no such thing as failure for an artist. The only time an artist fails is if he stops working. Ultimately, it's all about the process. It's about the journey and exploration. It's facing the blank piece of paper and transforming your fear into excitement. The point is not to let the fear make you stop or quit. There is a quote I love by Miles Davis that is hanging on the studio wall: Don't fear mistakes-there are none.


-Greg Hildebrandt
