Thoughtful conversations with the people of Maine

I think that as business people, we have an obligation to give back to the community in some way. If you think about the arts, they really contribute significantly to the fabric of our community. If we didn't have them to just think how barren it would be.

I think we have a responsibility to think, not only about ourselves and our kids and our grandkids, but our neighbors and our greater society, and even more now in this tech digital world that we live in.

I used to always tell myself this too, because a lot of the not wanting to work, not wanting to paint comes from a fear of failure. My way to get through that was like, it doesn't even have to be good. It doesn't have to be good at all. Just go do something.
