"Painting is a journey to simplify the complexity of existence.” Jon Groom
"A painting has to grow from the inside out, it's not something you do, it does all the work just to see your face when your eyes alight upon it." Jon Groom
“Painting creates a space, the artist works to give that space meaning, to fill it with unspoken silence which can go beyond our understanding into the realm of profundity.” Jon Groom
