As a professional artist, I enjoy the texture and hands on technique of woodcarving, the freedom of creating mandalas, the intellectual challenge of writing and the solitude of the digital darkroom. My art is greatly influenced by the ‘Dharma Art’ concept created by Chogyam Trungpa—creating art that reflects what is…not manipulating the medium or environment for the sake of meeting a specific agenda.
Since the day I sold my first image professionally in 1997, my work has become an integration of words and images. Sometimes they sit together on the paper and other times, one medium simply influences the other. Bringing these two mediums together makes me feel more complete and inspired as an artist.
