"When painting a sunset or extraordinary rock configuration, I view it with an eye toward design integrity. I am an idealist attempting to elevate the power of the original vision by reducing it to its architectural elements."
- Ed Mell
(as quoted in D.J. Hagerty, Beyond the Visible Terrain: The Art of Ed Mell, Tucson, Arizona, 1996, p. 43)
