Sara Genn - From the Accomplishment category:
I value the momentum of making the list and the drive to tick. Sometimes I add stuff I've already accomplished so I can get going on my feelings of accomplishment. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Beginning category:
Remember the importance of phrases... a piece of something, an entry, a moment, a mark. This adjusts the pressure of the giant task of creating the perfect masterwork. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Business category:
Artists live in an imperfect world where affairs of the heart must sometimes be compromised with business. (Sara Genn)

Sara Genn - From the Design category:

Sara Genn - From the Eroticism category:
Why can't we all just acknowledge that "nature" – that is, "sex" or "erotic" images, which are really just "attracters" are everywhere. Of course a flower looks like what it looks like – that's what it is – to a bee. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Importance category:

Sara Genn - From the Joy category:
Joy is my energy and energy is my powerhouse. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Planning category:
The system is the list. A piece of paper, a scrap, a page in a book, repeated often at bedside, desk, easel, traveling notebook, breakfast setting... (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Pleasure category:
Half of the pleasure of painting and feeling the joy of the creative act is sharing it with others and the feeling of connection. It could just be the colour. But it is something that someone other than you has seen and felt. It is momentous. It is magic. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Poetry category:
These days, if you happen to be a poet you have to sing your words to get your ideas out. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Prosperity category:
A millionaire is a person who is free, who does what she loves, who has unlimited materials, her choice of tools, abundance, inspiration, freedom and an inflated sense of entitlement to have, create and get more. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Questions category:
Why all these years have I been agreeably turning down the stereo every time the phone rings? (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Studio category:
The strategy of keeping the studio close, like an outbuilding five paces from the house, or in the loft next door, or with the studio on one end and the bed on the other – makes art always available. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Travel category:
Going beyond one's backyard grants one perspective. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Understanding category:

There's a saying that goes, "The universe gives you a whisper, then a nudge, then a push and then an anvil on your head." (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Values category:

Sara Genn - From the Windows category:
Art is sometimes likened to a mirror... an expression of universal human truth, executed with a degree of skill. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Words category:
I'll put into words my experience as it is unfolding now in my life... in such a way that I might find comfort in knowing that someone else has the same thoughts and experiences. (Sara Genn)
Sara Genn - From the Writing category:
This writing exercise is entirely different from the abstract joy and mysterious colour and design communication of painting. Writing is in a language that everyone can understand and is blatantly interpreted. (Sara Genn)
