Opening a portal for a new visionary art gallery in northern California, a 4-dimensional cube, or tesseract subtly became the ocean from which 2 islands emerged. Upon realization of a divine connectivity between all beings, the twin islands grew together a branch of love. Golden tears of joy spill forth from the awakening experience, falling on the artist’s altar, inspiring creation. The branch of peace becomes the artist’s easel and the original mandala empowers all that may be created in this sacred studio environment. In the front window of the gallery, the space was designed to integrate live painting performances into the display, and to show that what lies behind the finished artwork is a work of art in itself.

No art studio would be complete without a place to share tea. The first of its kind, a topographical tea table infuses the ritual of presence and the natural elements together into the creative nexus.
