Quotes from Stuart Pearson Wright

Art thrives on society and society thrives on its art.

I love isolation. It's very important for me to have time and space to myself when I can sit and read or write as well as paint. It's all part of the process.

One of the big failings of art schools is that students aren't given any teaching on how to survive as a one-person business, which is what it is.

I benefit from contemplation, but it's a great antidote to that, having someone interesting come into the studio environment to be painted, so that I can experience a little bit of their world.
