More quotes by Rita Angus

It's all there, the strangeness, colour, exhilaration.

I have been able to devote my energies to what I really am, a woman painter. It is my life.

I, as other painters do, live to paint and paint to live.

I've tried through the medium of paint to express ... how simple and wonderful living is ...

I am still trying to express ... the vast variations & endless possibilities in paint.
