"While my work in various media is primarily representational in content, I am quite interested in the abstract relationships that convey the image. I concentrate on the development of the spaces through the use of marks, blending of the grays and the expression of line and surface texture. It is important to me that the viewer become absorbed in the presented image and understand that the thought conveyed may be on more than one level." -E. O. Hill

"I was steeped in Chinese traditional art while growing up in Asia. I am also deeply interested in the ancient art form of Chinese written language. Although I have switched to a different medium in making art, from brush painting to printmaking, I still want to incorporate that interest and knowledge into my work. My work deals with surface design with emphasis on Asian motif."– Mona Wu
