"Beauty is just kind of an accident. Beauty is just a happenstance. Beauty is the remainders of being a painter."

"I think the artworks are icons. I haven’t used the word ‘iconography’ about it, but I’ve got my vanishing points, my palettes, my surfing-on-acid period. So each thing almost works as an icon or maybe an ideograph— as one idea that has resonance and makes you have thoughts about other ideas."
-Mary Heilmann
