More quotes by Cynthia Daignault
Painting is the chance to create a different space, or different way of picturing a literal stream of images.
Cynthia Daignault
I could name many women who travel or who work with America as a theme. I think it was more not being able to name canonical women, whose work is part of the American canon.

Cynthia Daignault
