Furniture Art

When your running low on money and you have an old table no one uses, paint it! You can turn something that is boring and plain into something beautiful! =) At my school in Belmont, they painted old classroom desks, really fun art directive for art therapy! PLUS it's usable!

Transpersonal World

©2010 ℕO⊻∧"A Transpersonal Flow Experience", 48 inches X 70 inches, spray paint on wood.

I absolutely love spending hours on end in the spray booth creating =) Especially at night when no one else is there and I can blast my music. I feel like anything is possible and the more and more I use spray paint, the more I fall in love with it. It is the most natural medium for me, it just feels so good! Also, the bigger, the better!! I love working big, it feels so much more natural to be standing up and using my whole body for each layer of the paintings. I feel like my "sitting down time" is when I make all my stencils, the drawing and cutting, etc. The way I paint is very transpersonal in feeling. My wholeness can only be whole when limitation is removed.

I had so much fun doing this one! I was happy to sell it to a very sweet girl who hung it up in her new apartment! I hope it breaths good energy=)
SOLD. "Mind, Body, Soul." 57 by 67 inches, spray paint on fabric. ©2010 ℕO⊻∧

When I paint I feel this extreme positive force that is telling me "the universe wants my FULL self" the universe needs us. And just as long as we are better people than we were yesterday, each day is meaningful. I have been practicing mindfulness awareness meditation. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche is amazing. He writes about how the Buddha, the awakened one, "woke up and realized he didn't have to try to be something other than what he was." So the complete teaching of Buddhism is to re-discover who we are. In Mindfulness Meditation we are completely absorbed in the fabric of life, the fabric of the moment. We might feel that thinking about the past or future makes our life richer, but by not paying attention to the immediate situation we are actually missing our life. There's nothing we can do about the past, we can only go over it again and again and the future is completely unknown. So the practice the mindfulness is the practice of being a live! -Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
