Quote from Rose Metz:
"For my non-objective work, I'm inspired by the act of preparing to paint. I start intuitively with colors and images and the relationships between them which I work experimentally. Also, the feel of the work and where it is heading is an important part of the composition. I add and subtract until I find a solution that I feel is right and a statement I wish to make. My subjective work is more structured, and since I teach in this manner, it is a welcome change from non-objective work, although both are a challenge. I have no social statement to make. I am hopeful that what I paint can communicate itself to others." - Rose Metz
