The big pay-off was to work as an artist and gain some shred of respect from your friends, who were also artists. But there was never any notion that you could make a living out of art. On the rare occasions you had a gallery show, and sold a little work, well, that was just gravy.

JR

Allison Hill

Very few artists have studios with a gallery and sign outside. Others are simply working out of their apartment or their house. Through contacts, they start to show in Cuba. If they are lucky, they will be picked up by galleries in the United States or Europe.

Chris Winfield

What I didn't know in the early days is now much business background is necessary, something I've learned along the way. It's one reason for this partnership. It lets the gallery move sideways. Now the inventory is twice as potent; I'm selling it and have someone else selling it as well.

Heber J. Grant

When I was a child, next to my own mother, no woman that ever lived took as much interest in me, gave me as much motherly advice or seemed to love me more than did Sister Snow. I loved her with all my heart, and loved her hymn, 'O My Father.'

We're not going to persuade people in the developing world to go without, but neither can we afford a planet on which everyone lives like an American.
