Art in Bradenton

Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air.'

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson 

'When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and it's light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart lacks the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.

~ John O'Donohue ~
