“Sometimes it starts with a feeling. The paintings I’m working on now are all based on people in my community, my interactions with them. People share their stories with me, tell me about their lives. You need to have a high level of empathy so that you can really feel what they’re conveying. For me, that’s the pathway to their internalized world.” Nathaniel Mary Quinn
