The images come to me through mindfulness and intuition. They are living inside me. As I paint, I let them out and allow them to evolve. This process of art is therapeutic because it gives me inspiration to reinvent and recreate myself.

While I was working on this piece, I was thinking of the threat of global warming on our ecosystem and those who are suffering around the world.
