Artist Statement:

       Several years ago I was ill with a mild but exhausting version of  Lyme Disease. It was mid-August and very disheartening to be in bed on beautiful warm, sunny days. I was also experiencing other difficulties in my life and I found myself meditating and praying for healing.

        One afternoon I came out of a deep sleep with very clear instructions: “Get the silkscreen you once made of Buddha.  Print copies of it and paint each one differently. You can show how our Buddha nature is beneath all the stories, emotions and circumstances.”

         I followed these instructions precisely. I set up a painting studio in the basement and began painting and painting and painting for one year. I painted the many renditions of the Buddha from a print I had made from a replica from a 5,000 year old Tibetan woodblock which I had traced thirty-five years ago and turned into a silkscreen.
