Once upon a time, a boy was born with a dream- to become an artist.

Instead he joined an ashram, and renounced all worldly ambition, in the pursuit of enlightenment.

Unfortunately after 7 years the ashram kicked the boy out on his tush. What was he to do?  He became a commercial artist, who morphed into an art salesman, who morphed into an insurance salesman, who rode to work on a Harley.

Then, one eventful day he came a cropper on his chopper. He dies, he miraculously revives. The Surgeons rename him Lazarus- he is reborn….he becomes a fine artist.

30 years later here I am. Lazarus, still in the pursuit of Light.

Who am I?..... artist, teacher, seer!

What do I believe... I believe everyone is born unique, with a purpose

I believe the purpose of my life is to bless others, I believe in the "other" centred life

I believe in living to encourage, and uplift. I believe in going the extra mile.

I hope to put that purpose into my art.

I want people to feel something when they encounter my work.

….and I don't just want them to feel any old thing...I want them to feel better, uplifted, touched.

That being said I have to "make a living"..... so I painted portraits,….. and

sure I've worked on the movies...I needed to pay my mortgage, and if you're going to work on a movie why not a trilogy, or two? Like LOTR or The Hobbit.

I took commissions, I hustled, but I kept returning to my love…. painting Light

I painted landscapes, birds, still life, fell in love with violins, chinese brocade, and lots of old things... like leather bound books, silver, brass, butterflies!

Now I'm focused on trying to capture, on linen, the essence, the feeling, of

…….the Rose
