Exhibit Photos & Artist Statement

Art Exhibit Feb 10, 2007

One of my first childhood memories is when I sat staring in amazement while my mom colored in one of my coloring books. The colors she used were so beautiful, the strokes so magical. I thought she was the best artist in the world. This is where my inspiration to become an artist began.

I found a passion with designing websites. I learned how to design websites by creating a Latin American community that focused on inspiring others to follow their dreams, encouraging creativity and bringing people from different cultures together. Within a year of launching the website, it received over 6,000 visits daily and also received media attention. I dedicated myself to the website for five years, then decided it was time to move on to other endeavors. What started out as a hobby, became my career. I have moved on from the website to pursue a career in web design. I now design and develop websites professionally.

I always kept an open eye out for the powerful gift I have always felt I had but did not know how to unlock - until the day I found Rassouli’s paintings in the Agape Sanctuary in Culver City. These paintings called out to me in a way that I had never encountered. I was drawn to them not for the beautiful paintings that they were, but for the overwhelming feeling of love that I strongly felt when I looked at them. Shortly thereafter, I had an opportunity to meet Rassouli and take his painting from the heart teachings.

Since then, I have learned different ways to approach creating images and paintings. I have learned to remove my judgment, criticism and attachment to the end result. I have learned to add unconditional love and freedom to my works of art. I now find endless possibilities of inspiration and beauty on canvas.

The message of my work is: Remember the light that is always with you regardless of undesirable circumstances that may occur. This light is love, understanding, creativity and inspiration. This beautiful light can work wonders in your life when you look for it with your heart.

Life is my canvas, I am the artist painting my ultimate masterpiece - the life that I have lived, now living and will live.
