I believe in the arts as a puja and as a profound tool, an offering for healing and inspiration.
My passion began in the performing arts as an actor. Twelve years ago, I began my spiritual studies
and felt compelled to paint as a form of devotion and worship to God. Working with "angels" came as
a gift, spontaneously... for I would randomly paint and then see inside the page the spirit revealing itself
and simply assist their presence. I consider myself more a vehicle, or the eyes to see, rather than the
creator of the art itself.
After creating a series of "angels", a company known as 3Souls reproduced them into cards.

That was the beginning of Puja Art. From there I had a desire to personalize this work and began painting
soul portraits.
This was an amazing experience because I never knew what the outcome would be... an essence, a
past life, spirit animals, angels... and I was always surprised by the magic and by how profoundly they
affected and resonated with the person I was "painting" for.
Puja Art has been exhibited in the Sacred Nudes Gallery and Gallery Karon in Ashland, OR and in the Portal Gallery in Mt. Shasta, CA.
Currently they can be see in the
gallery 'everything but the girl' in Sarasota, FL and RA Art in Las Vegas, NV.
The materials I use in my art are a layering of paper, acrylics and watercolors.
Inside each piece is a sacred sound...

A Mantra in Sanskrit or an affirmation that awakens and nourishes our divine nature.
After working with angels and soul portraits my evolution has taken me to a new form of expression called
Personal Angels. We all have many angels who guide us and love us. To me, they are alive and the
more I open to them the more they reveal themselves to me. My intention is simply to remind us that we
are not alone, we are loved and we are that love.
I feel blessed that my art can become a conduit for those who desire the expression of that personal
guidance in their lives.
Namaste... I bow to the god within each one of us.
