WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME!

NAMASTE!
SALUTE TO THE GOD WITHIN

The Way is eternally nameless.
If feudal lords and kings preserve it,
The myriad creatures will be transformed by themselves.
After transformation, if they wish to rise up,
I shall restrain them with the nameless unhewn log.
By restraining them with the nameless unhewn log,
They will not feel disgraced;
Not feeling disgraced,
They will be still
Whereupon heaven and earth will be made right by themselves.
- Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu

Through extensive creative endeavors over many years, my greatest work of Art is my life. I have experienced the Artists at work creating new, innovative and exciting advances toward achieving perfection through stillness and freedom of expression within creative mediums of ArtWorks. The Art Model opportunities have abounded in my latest adventure to fulfill my objective. I am grateful and give thanks to all of the creative people I work with as an Art Model Professional (A-Z) via hatha yoga practice for over 40 years, initially trained under the direction of Jewell Walker, yoga teacher at Carnegie-Mellon University and various teachers in the subsequent years.

Artist provides a zest for life! The restoration of spirit is through conscious awareness of the potential of mind, body and soul cultivation and mastery during a Human existence. Many participants have expressed their profound appreciation for the work that I display while modeling . I have found in various places that Art enthusiasts gathered to practice their craft through the years is exhilarating. Art is a personal growth approach to living life fully. It is a non-competitive activity for the Human Beings who want to develop the strengths of their untapped capacity of his/her abilities to manage the challenges of life with ease and grace.

THE KEY IS IN THE EXPERIENCE!
