Sadhana is a Sanskrit word that means a spiritual practice. My artworks are my painted prayers and painting is certainly a spiritual practice for me.

Hence, since 2008, when i founded Circles of Love, a non profit charity outreach program, using my art in the service of humanity, all monies from any sales of my paintings are donated entirely to charity.

We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us again. Could you please give us a brief overview of the new art project titled "Environmental Series"?

Making art for the environment is nothing new for me. Every year, I paint one or two works for Earth Day as I believe in honouring Mother Earth. The earth is our home planet. It is the only one we got. But this year, I was invited to participate in a four-member group exhibition in South Korea. And decided to create a specific new series of 12 paintings dedicated to the care and protection of our environment. Because the audience was going to be Koreans, I included Korean texts in Korean scripts in some of the works.

DID YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU WANTED TO CREATE RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING?

Yes, the concept may be clear in my mind, and ideas may be there but I believe in the process of the becoming of the work. If I get out of the way, and stay quiet enough to tune in to my inner being, I then see the work unfolding with different eyes. There is great wisdom within us, so why not work together with this innate wisdom, than against it?
