I want it said of me by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

The flowers anew returning seasons bring but beauty faded has no second spring.

Beauty is but a flower which wrinkles will devour.

A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty fragrance and the lift they give our spirits.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale you could not ignore its beauty.

By plucking her petals you do not gather the beauty of the flower.

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.

Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization.

Becoming emancipated at 14 my life wasn't normal. I didn't have to go to school so I didn't. I was rebellious by nature. I spent my 20s focusing on my company Flower Films and producing movies. Now that I'm almost 30 I would like to try other things in lie. I'm crazy about photography and I want to take an art history class.

Works of art often last forever or nearly so. But exhibitions themselves especially gallery exhibitions are like flowers they bloom and then they die then exist only as memories or pressed in magazines and books.
