Quote by Dianne E. Gray

“On a field of white, Minna has appliqued pieces of fabric that together paint a scene. A young girl sits by a tree-lined brook. If I'd had more time, I think I might have imagined my way inside, my sore feet dangling in the calm water, the breeze braiding through my hair. It is as pretty as a picture on a penny postcard.”

They will erode like statues of stone and abate like the men who built them. A dreamer’s hope can only succumb at the dawn of a more brilliant, precious one.”

It was about the rhythm of dog and man - synchronicity of movement, elegance. And sometimes, the movement of her bow across the strings of her violin reminded her of the swish and glide of the runners on a sled ride in the snow.”
