"I long ago came to the conclusion that even if I could put down accurately the thing that I saw and enjoyed, it would not give the observer the kind of feeling it gave me. I had to create an equivalent for what I was looking at—not copy it."
—Georgia O’Keeffe

John Lefelhocz comments that O'Keeffe's ideal is "one I frequently use when I work through my creative process. How do I really feel about a topic and how would I create an equivalent to convey how I feel? How do I make this ideal work in modern consumerist society?"
