Viewing art is an experience.
Essentially what we see, hear, touch, smell, and taste gets filtered through our brain, and stimulates memories, associations, and different regions of our body. A specific stimulus pattern is created whether we are seeing just a single line, or a realistic oil painting.

She rarely spent time at

Supporting People with Art.
A commissioned piece for example, can hold specific energy and code that can support a person on their journey and add a needed dynamic to their life. Below I have a write-up from a client who expressed their appreciation for commissioned art.
Both of us [Ravi & his girlfriend] feel like that the painting really speaks to us. I cannot express in words how much we love it. Thank you Thank you!
You have really done an amazing job knowing exactly what I had wanted. I really cherish your expression of kindness in doing this for me and I am so grateful to you.

I started creating art in late 2005 because a friend and fellow artist (that I had commissioned several pieces from) suggested we make a painting. It turned out really good, and I was hooked. This was great, for I had always wanted to be an artist, and come from a family of artists.
I started with acrylics and watercolors largely because I used my hands and I was painting in my home. Gel mediums, gestural lines, and unintentional figures all became hallmarks of my work. Before long I was using oils, and traditional techniques.
In 2009 I began making my first digital works. I found the process to be fun, and quite portable.
On this page I’ve featured 13 pieces that both tell the story of my development, and have a positive message.
