Quotes "It can't just be a painting of something, it has to be a painting that is something. A painting has to acquire a life of its own.""I am not inspired by a person, but rather my relationship with the visual world.""When I get in front of the easel and begin to paint, I sometimes burst into tears because I am so happy to be here. I am so glad it is just me, the canvas, the paint, and this dear little brush.""I have found life very emotional and difficult to stay even. And I think that perhaps that comes out in the paintings - certainly I would never paint anything that didn't strike me emotionally, something that didn't physically bother me.""People will find out that in each one of the paintings there is something that ought to disturb them, something upsetting. That is why I painted them." References External links Interview with Mary Pratt, National Gallery of Canada Canadian Art Magazine - online slideshow of Mary Pratt
