Robert Genn
Art is a path on which we honour our world.
Robert Genn

Robert Genn
In acrylic, happiness comes a bit faster.
Robert Genn
A high price may be part of the mystique in selling difficult art.
Robert Genn
Don't assume there is only one way. Don't assume that mistakes are a bad thing. Don't think for one minute that everyone agrees with what 'good' is.
Robert Genn
Know that to begin is often better than to think.
