A quotation from Thoreau

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 “Conclusion” (1854)

The 2nd artist featured in Art from the Outside is the wonderful Madge Gill (1882-1961). An unconventional self-taught artist, Gill created 1000s of artworks in an East London terrace, often by lamp or candle light. Her work was created under the gaze of her spirit guide Myrninerest.
