Quotes from Susan Rothenberg

The paintings are like prayers, relating to wishing for something beyond everyday life.

I can say that paintings are prayers, they have to do with anything that makes you wish for more that what everyday life provides.

I think artists almost always end up turning to what's around them, what's in their environment or outside their window.

Sometimes the painting starts to relate very directly to either sights seen or experiences felt, other times it just goes off on a tangent that you really can't articulate.
