I would say to my friends" that all of my drawings were found within the pencil and all I had to do was rub it over the paper in a controlled fashion to unleash the work of art that was stored there ."

I have a fascination with the human figure and its expression in my artforms. Throughout the years I have given expression of the human figure through all the traditional media, i.e., oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolor, gouache, charcoal, graphite.

Eight years ago I began exploring digital media and fell in love with Photoshop and 3D Max. I earned a Masters degree in 3d animation -using Softimage.

I draw my spiritual inspiration from the Transcendental Meditation program which I have been practicing for over 35 years.

3D Digital Gold is my second website which features an extensive portfolio of artwork. www.3ddigitalgold.com

Everyone should have a passion- something that brings deep joy.

Mine is flowers. I love everything about flowers- how their colors glow in the sunlight, how their petals catch tiny rainbows in raindrops, how they gracefully dance in a gentle breeze.

Flowers are a source of joy for me. Sometimes I stand quietly for long periods of time just entranced by the beauty of the flowers in my garden. If I'm feeling tired, I visit my garden and get refreshed. I imagine that the Devas of the plants are returning my love for them and that sense of healing energy increases my joy.

I have always loved flowers but now, with the entrance of a digital camera into my life, I can share my passion with others- the secret landscapes of flowers- their mountains and valleys and spires.

If you allow yourself to see deeply into the heart of a flower, if you open yourself to its essence, you may find yourself, as I often do, touched by a sense of great wonder at the amazing intricacy and care our Creator has put into every single child flower.
