THE SKETCHES, ART JOURNAL PAGES AND MEDITATIONS OF VICTORIA MARKS

Encaustics VII
I devour nature ceaselessly. I exaggerate, sometimes I make changes in the subject: but still I don't invent the whole picture. On the contrary, I find it already there. It's a question of picking out what one wants from nature.
Artist, writer, hippie girl, earth mother, nearly nonstop talker and generally exhausted insomniac. If I'm not painting or drawing, I'm writing, often well into the wee hours of the morning.
I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create. Vincent Van Gogh
