ARTIST STATEMENT
I got hooked on spiritual practice and the aspiration to become a Fully Awakened Being became an obsession with me. I do Yoga and I teach Yoga and I meditate and I go on a lot of meditation retreats. And I paint. But, all the while, I’m really only doing just one thing. I’m asking, What does True Liberation looks like? How do we get it? How can I, only a Yoga teacher, only a painter, help others get it? My paintings are just my offering.
I’m a classically trained, figurative painter. I use oil paints and classical mediums and glazes, gold leaf and gold thread, and occasionally preserved leaves and twigs. I like to paint life size images on large canvases in order to make the Enlightenment Experience intimate and relevant and truly human.
