Quotes About Miniature Art

"Making art is one of the most demanding and difficult of human pursuits. Not only does it demand imagination and vision and knowledge, it also demands fantastic physical skill. Only surgery comes close to the virtuosity required of the miniature artist. The artists you see today have all taken that and then consciously made the task even more formidable by making the paintings in miniature. One can only marvel at the skill and perseverance shown by the artists in this exhibition." ~ Peter Waddell 2003 MPSGS Exhibition Judge
