Traveling to India was a dream come true. The food and culture are so different from life in Huntington Beach, CA. It was amazing for me to go to such an exotic and far-away destination for three weeks. I traveled throughout the Rajasthan region visiting Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and riding camels through the Thar Desert. But it was the last week in Rishikesh where I felt most at home walking along the sacred Ganges and hiking up the Himalaya Mountains.
When I create a work of art, it begins from a place of inspiration. Once I start painting, often new and unexpected things happen on the canvas and I’ll abandon my original idea and allow fresh inspiration and intuition to guide my work.
