These paintings are now available
These paintings are available for purchase, The works with His Holiness's calligraphy are
most important to me. Not as a historical record of our work together, but as my memory of times with him.
These pieces are rolled up in my closet so I would feel better if they are with someone who appreciates them and are then viewable by more people. I paint for the act of creating, but at the end I end up with that creation, for me the importance is creating not the end. Better they are not in my closet as my wall space is limited. I just love to paint.
Contact me if any of these are going to be part of your life.
