Experiencing Sense of Place on the Coast to Crest Trail

The artwork is inspired by hiking and getting to know the Coast to Crest Trail which meanders along the San Dieguito River from the coast to Volcan Mountain. I hope it inspires you to walk the trails and find joy in Nature.

Pilgrimage

My artwork illustrates my recent travels through India, celebrating the warmth, color and energy of this beautiful country.
