"While creating art I treat the piece worked on as pre-existing but in the throws of change. I explore surface, color, depth, medium, technique and possibility. Subject matter often reflects rescue. I observe what is happening in the world, especially in the world of women, who I trust will in growing numbers participate in preserving what is now at risk.” — Nelleke Nix, 2011
