Gratitude

Gratitude is my signature piece- it embodies the very reason I paint, the emotion of gratitude I feel each day for my breath, for humanity, for art. My reason for painting is to use my gift to give back and remind others to give back using their own gifts.?

Each morning in Udaipur, I would leave my room and see women standing in the water, facing East. The waters swirled with the colors of saris floating in the water and the sunrise reflecting orange, pink, and gold. I saw a state of grace as the colors mixed with the magical peace of morning prayers.
