"Painting Visual Namaste"

Painting, for me, is a means of universally communicating the idea of “namaste”, a Sanskrit word which is a reverent greeting. Many of you are already familiar with this word if you take yoga. It is also accompanied by a gesture of hands meeting at your core.  Loosely translated it means, “I greet that place where you and I are one”, or “I bow to the divine in you.” “The light in me recognizes the light in you” is my favorite translation, because as an artist we seek the light, and the presence or absence of it creates the very forms we paint.
