Jessica Matteliano
Artist
United States
Full-time wife and mother, part-time artist and writer. I read a lot, enjoy occasional political bantering, tend to smoke a lot, and have a soft spot in my heart for stilettos, cascading style sheets, graphic design and typography. My favorite subject to paint is the equine form, and I enjoy recreating the beauty of creation. Sometimes, I try to make my own written creations.
Bad artists always admire each other's work. - Oscar Wilde
the God of the popular mind is the creation of a maudlin sentimentality
НУ И ЧTO
Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had. -Nietzsche
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it. -Tolstoy
"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying." — Oscar Wilde
