“The aim of my art is to celebrate the beauty I experience in this world, and to open the hearts and enrich the lives, of those who see it ” – Ka
I believe that what we create is what we experience in life. By using our creative gifts we can choose how to shape our reality, and deeply impact the lives of those around us. The aim of my art is to bring more beauty into this world. When I experience beauty, I feel my heart open. When I have an open heart, I experience more love, peace, joy and healing in my life. I hope to inspire an awareness of sovereign empowerment in our collective heart, to create the beauty we wish to see in the world.I hold great reverence for our collaborative potential to bridge Heaven and Earth through our love and imagination.
