ABOUT
In 2001, I ordained into the Order of Interbeing, acquiring the name True Wonderful Happiness and becoming a core member of the worldwide Plum Village Community under the leadership of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. My new career became the practice of mindfulness.
Rather than abandoning my life as an artist, my new challenge became to infuse my art with the energy of mindfulness. I hope the work you find here, reflects my commitment to produce art in a spirit of freedom and ease, watering seeds of hope and joy. Each piece is a love letter, expressing my gratitude for being alive.
In the galleries below, you will find a sampling of quotes and paintings in an assortment of sizes and prices. New images will be updated frequently. Custom requests are happily accepted. If you wish to make a purchase or have a question, please use the contact box below to get in touch with me.
A generous portion of all sales will go to support our teachers at The Mindfulness Practice Center of Fairfax.
