Words of Wisdom: Rose Frantzen



When people ask me how I became a successful artist, I tell them you have to not need much. If you live raw and bare, you can make it work. If you have no money to start with, you better decide you're not going to need much.¹
~ Rose Frantzen, Portrait of Maquoketa

Nice post Matthew and I wanted to say thanks for your post about the Waterhouse exhibit in Montreal. We went last Wednesday and having read your post about it before made it even better. Thanks!
