Inspirational Art Quotes

I confess…I am an absolute quote junkie. Quotes have been a source of enlightenment, comfort, and inspiration for me since I learned to read, and I have amassed a large, diverse collection of them over the years. One of the cool things about having a picture frame business is that I get to share my favorite ones related to art, creativity, and inspiration with a larger audience. Each week I choose a new quote for the sales receipts we send out to our customers and then create an image based on it for our social media. These are a few of my favorite art-related quotes with images. Feel free to share them.

“The seed of your next artwork lies embedded in the imperfections of your current piece.”
