I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.

Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can.

My great love is my home county of Cornwall, I love to sit and watch people enjoying themselves on the beaches and in the harbour towns of Cornwall.

Art came fluidly, so I was able to teach myself many of the things I thought were important by copying and mimicking my artistic idols.

I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life.

I have lived in Cornwall from the age of 4, so I have always been aware of the artistic heritage that the county has. I feel very proud to be able to connect to this.

I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work.

The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression.

A man may go to heaven without health, without riches, without honors, without learning, without friends; but he can never go there without Christ.

Speak with your own voice and be as unique as you possibly can.

The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.

Through reframing, you can eliminate all limiting experiences from your life.

If people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish.

Invest your capital of love to get the best dividend of a beautiful life filled with happiness.

Many have doubts

Music is all about wanting to be better at it.

Leadership is the ability of a single individual through his or her actions to motivate others to higher levels of achievement.

I didn't realize how good I was with computers until I met my parents.

I've always been proud that my name stands for peace.

Sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of sympathy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain.
