[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] “To me, art is an offering to others. First there is inspiration, then, opening to the execution and allowing it to flow we can arrive at something beautiful to offer. For me its a process that involves something beyond myself. I love color and textures, dimension and shapes. I love allowing the work to create itself. There is absolutely nothing else like it and it seems to have captivated me.”
One of my favorite accomplishments was when I lived in India as a volunteer ‘in-house’ designer for The Nobulingka Institute, a Tibetan Art Institute and Cultural Center in Dharamsala, India. The experience was something from a movie or book…to be around all of these Tibetan monks and Master Tibetan artists teaching the younger generation of Tibetans in exile how to preserve their art and culture. An experience of a lifetime.”
