Agnes Martin

"Happiness... is everywhere. When we are unhappy it is because something is covering our minds and we are not able to be aware of happiness. When the difficulty is past, we find happiness again... Happiness is unattached. Always the same. It does not appear and disappear. It is not sometimes more and sometimes less. It is our awareness of happiness that goes up and down. Happiness is our real condition. It is reality. It is life," Agnes Bernice Martin (1912-2004 Canadian born, American abstract painter).
