Every living thing around me I feel is god and connected to the universe. Living is so extraordinary and powerful. Many times this awareness is overlooked or not even seen. I want to show and respect this in my art so people see it. I paint the air, precious moments, the look in our eyes, multiple dimensions, all these worlds coexisting at the same time. I feel it is important to have this consciousness in our daily lives.
