Her art has the power to deepen and transform our ecology and teach us wisdom like slowing down, letting go and awakening energy. Her spiritual practice is entwined with her creative art-making process.

''Only in the last decade have I arrived at a kind of equanimity. I love to chant and sing in Sanskrit when I paint, immerse myself in heart centred teachings and Kirtan music and meditate in my studio. These daily habits have become meaningful to me in unexpected ways, changed my studio to a sacred space, enabled me to transcend an old mindset and created a beautiful ripple effect beyond the art''
