The BusinessDictionary.com defines the term “holistic” as an “all encompassing view based on the knowledge of the nature, functions, and properties of the components, their interactions, and their relationship to the whole.”
My work is focused on the achievement, at both individual and global levels, of balance, creative energy, flexibility, intuition and healing to the mind, body and speech, in a holistic manner, uniting humankind with the Universe.
I use oils, acrylics, gouache, watercolours, soft pastels, oil crayons & mixed media for my paintings on medium-large scale paper, canvas, board, wood and hessian.
My photography is about seascapes, landscapes, skyscapes, (sacred) architecture, occasionally with the subtle interaction of the human figure or animals.
Using 2, 4 or 8 shaft table or floor looms, I give my woven pieces the fluidity and colour variegation of how life should unfold.
My poetry and short stories also reflect my holistic lifestyle, crossing over between 2D and 3D images and words.
I am inspired by Mother Earth, astronomy, astrology, legends & myths, meditation, my own oneiric and subconscious/cosmic visualization imagery, numerology, people, spiritual knowledge of sacred geometry, colours and mystical symbols/icons, Tibetan art and culture.

People connect with my Narrative Art through their emotions and inquisitiveness. In this Anthropocene era of such abundance of global dis-ease, my aspiration is to start a transparency/joy/healing art movement, which, consequently, will improve the overall ecology, self-care, mental/physical health & wellbeing, as unique values to be preserved.
