Artist Quotes:
“My art presents nature. I isolate certain aspects of nature to gain emphasis, to make clear its power to affect us, to give the viewer an awareness that can be translated into a total unraveling of the cosmos.” http://artquotes.robertgenn.com/auth_search.php?authid=4306
“The essence of my art reaches to inspire a dialogue with urban dwellers regarding their impact on the Earth.” Artist statement, http://www.alansonfist.com/biography/index.html
