The One formless, the source of all forms, becomes visible through the mystery of mantra. This ancient sound vibration of AUM , affords a glimpse of transcendence as the sound transforms and expands in four forms. These four forms are called Vasudeva, Pradyumna, Aniruddha and Samkarshana. The Great Universe appears from these four forms of sound.

• My creative process involves five steps:

1. Original watercolor calligraphic composition of the sacred text, (like a "sketch").
2. I continue to develop the composition using digital media.
3. Transfer of the digital painting to canvas Giclee (archival inks),which I supervise closely.(this is the "under-painting")
4. Illuminating the whole canvas with pure gold-leaf, silver-leaf and copper-leaf.
5. Repainting the entire canvas with oil paint, metallic paint, and markers (for very small detail) and
6. Final varnish to preserve the metallic elements.

           As you can see, while the print element is there, it is the smallest part of the process,
while the "hand work" is by far the greater!
