"A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I’ve been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light…. I don’t know whether I believe in God or not, but the essential thing is to put oneself in a frame of mind which is close to that of prayer." – HENRI MATISSE
"The retreat I attended was very well-organised, with a clear agenda that lived up to my expectations. Ruth is a warm and gracious host, and I felt in capable hands throughout. I came away from the retreat enriched as an artist and feel – even 12 months later – that the experience influences my artistic practice today" – Lil Jedynak Visual Artist/Writer, 2009
