Lately, my art leans towards sculpture rather than traditional painting. Thick textures create a weighty, 3-dimensional feel. However, this piece is an anomaly. It lacks any texture, save for the marks formed by the brushstrokes. Trusting the process, I'm captivated by the beauty and simplicity of this painting.

Inspired by the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, I've come to realize the profound truth in letting go of the need for my story to unfold in a specific way.
The recent sale of "Trust Your Inner Compass" at Gallery Mar perfectly reflects this philosophy. Tolle's wisdom encourages us to release the concerns about success, recognizing that embracing the present is a success in itself. Life flows more effortlessly when we cease to exert excessive effort and instead trust our inner compass. Thrilled to continue enriching my community through exhibitions and collaborative workshops in 2024!
Upcoming Events: Inanimate objects carry the vibration of their maker. I am extremely cognizant the emotions I infuse into my work can, indeed, be sensed by those who experience it. While some may dismiss this as mere sentimentality, I steadfastly believe in its authenticity. Our surroundings shape who we are. As a creator, my goal is to harmonize with my creations, ensuring that those who engage with my work, particularly those who share their space with it, reap the benefits. I express sincere gratitude to both business and private collectors who choose to invest in my work.
Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. As you attune to your body and mind, clarity will unfold, revealing the interconnectedness of all existence.
This sculptural piece emerged following a profound shamanic session with the great yogi; Asha Kirti. During meditation, I visualized my essence anchored to the world's core, granting my soul the liberty to transcend boundaries. "Beyond Borders", mixed media on canvas, 60" x 48" |
This blog was created to share my belief that the art-making process is a catalyst for transformation and personal empowerment. I am living proof.
