Every painting in this collection represents a moment or aspect of my life. Change is inevitable and sometimes scary, but once you accept and embrace that change, something beautiful emerges. These paintings are parts of my story.

My spiritual/religious journey started when I was 22 years old when I was pregnant with my son. I felt I needed protection that was out of this world. I studied different religions and found they all had incredible similarities yet fundamental differences in how a human being perceives and is perceived. This opened up intense conversations with God or the Gods. These paintings represent different conversations/prayers I experienced.

I enjoy movement. I enjoy dance. I enjoy watching instruments move to create music.
After studying the 18 Vedic Principles of Creating Visual Artwork, I became a certified instructor of that method. I began this collection of dancing lines that express endless creativity.
When I start a painting, I never know what it will be, but I do know when to stop. I stop when that moment is fully expressed. It's not accidental.

Life has so many layers and dimensions and I explore them in this collection. Paintings came through first. The experience of painting them was similar to what I experience when I work on the "Conversations with God" collection. It's exciting, I do not know the result, and it creates intense curiosity, puzzle-solving experience: "Will this tone help to express what I am yet to grasp fully?" After contemplation, I realized that they are all about different life systems that include the following five: logic, emotions, spiritual cognitions or convictions, time with two aspects: liner and psychological, and unknown.

In India, they say "flower" is God because the colors, textures, smells are endless. My daughter came back from her first trip to India when she was 12, and she brought back a drawing of flowers that filled the page. On the back of that drawing, she wrote: "People are like flowers. All beautiful. All unique." Since that moment, I'm enjoying painting flowers, thinking that each painting is a celebration of beauty, uniqueness- God's creativity.

Visual expressions of Spiritual Breakthroughs.

I have been to India 11 times and traveled through the Himalayas and South of India, lived in the ashrams, did yatras, prayed in Temples, meditated on the Ganga River, and completed with my past and opened up my future, made friends all over the world. I will never forget the first look at the red Indian soil and the feeling that I was home at last. Once, I spent a month in Kumbh Mela, the biggest spiritual gathering on the planet; I saw saddhus and devotion of regular people, and new dimensions of life opened up for me and in me. I am beyond grateful to India for all it gave and keeps giving, for Hinduism and its vast knowledge, for the strength I found that I did not know I had. Forever in Love with this county and its people.

Sometimes I feel such bliss of existence that I tend to add sparkles and gold and stones to my paintings. They are tough to capture with a camera, but they are super fun to make and look at. This collection is meant to bring creative joy to your space, because of the very rich visual experience.

All my art is about Oneness. But three years from 2018 to 2021 were a massive test for me in living Oneness, finding strength in it, radiating it regardless of what was happening. Some of the sweetest events were part of these three years, like a magical wedding celebration of my son, trip to India with my mom right before her 80th birthday and half a year before her passing, seeing my mom dancing in the ashram in India, seeing my guruji hugging her and comforting her, seeing her crying because her heart was melting with love, watching my daughter's graduation were a part of these three years. I met new friends and felt as if we had lived many lifetimes together. And so many more... On the suffering side, my mom passed, my dad died, my Vincent (best dog ever) left the body in my arms, my mother-in-law passed, and we had a pandemic where I spent several months in isolation. Oneness does not discriminate between good and bad. Our ability to see deeper than surface-level good or bad is how grasping of Oneness feels. Our ability to feel connected when time or space separate us is Oneness. Our ability to connect beyond this Life is Oneness.
Multiple lines in my paintings create one piece, and I used watercolors for this collection because I wanted the fluid feeling allowing for many layers of interpretation. Various events dance together in Oneness, creating an illusion and liberation from the illusion depending on the depth of our being.
Completion is showing it all to you...

In a world where there is such disrespect and disregard of women, where their intricate and fascinating design is taken for granted and abused, it's our responsibility to educate our sons and men on their protective role and educate women on their true essence.
Until child marriages are irradicated and called by their true name, "rape," the world will not know peace. Until men realize that anger towards a person different from them is weakness and not strength, female abuse will continue. Until our daughters and mothers feel that they need not prove their right to do what they want with their bodies and souls, there won't be new beginnings for this world.
Raising a woman's self-esteem by loving her and telling her that she is lovable is what this collection is about.
