Manipura Solar Plexus Chakra Goddess (art in progress pics)
Life is full of surprises and a journey. One of the things to remember whenever I paint is there will be unexpected turn of events and experiences after each brush stroke. I love control and knowing what an art piece ‘should’ look like in the end but sometimes things don’t always goes as planned – even with the best intentions. Ever experienced this in your life?

. How do you come up with ideas? What’s your inspiration? Nature? Food? Books? Music? A challenge most artists face when completing a series is wondering what to paint next? When I am complete and see no need to explore further I start the creative process all over again…staring at a blank white canvas. Years ago when I was in Graphic design school, my color theory teacher had told the class of his experience working with one of the leading graphic designers in the city. The prominent designer has won awards for his amazing designs. One day, this designer was stuck. After designing...
