Sharon Butler posts recent words of inspiration for fellow artists by painter Jennifer Wynne Reeves. Reeves passed away over the weekend.

Reeves statement begins: "If, BIG IF, I don’t live another year, my prayer for you, for the art world, is that creatives banish doubts about breakthroughs because if we can’t imagine Pollock or Polke breakthroughs are possible we won’t have them and won’t be able to see them. Artists are not merely subordinates of the market place. We explore space in undefined delta quadrants. There’s plenty of time to find them as long as our minds stay open as long as we welcome invention."
