My deep respect for the detail and devotion
poured into traditional arts led me to study painting and sculpture
in Nepal, Bali, and India for a total of three years, beginning
in 1988. I have also dabbled in Manuscript style painting as well
as Chinese and Japanese traditional arts. The sacred traditions
of the world are a primary inspiration for my art even in my modern
experimentation. My intention as an artist is to reflect the beauty
and sacredness of life in every detail, and to rediscover the art
of patience, that is fading in our fast paced modern world.
