Despite my career in photography and media, I began my explorations in the arts in drawing and painting, but I left that behind 20 years ago until recently. Two years ago, I captured a self portrait that focused on the illuminating aspects of the creative process, then last spring, I did a sketch of hands haloing a face. Suddenly, I had an idea for a larger concept, that combined my sentiments on intuition, creativity, and my spirit in eternity, so with my lovely hand model Lauren, I developed this image that I turned into an oil painting.
