Amrta Artist Statement: My work is a reflection and exploration of the magical interconnectedness of all of life and the ability to regenerate. As a painter, I am deeply influenced by my fifteen year study of mythology, comparative religion, and ancient Buddhism. I decided to go by Amrta years ago when I read an ancient myth that said that when people had fought the long battle of life, Amrta (Ambrosia) would fall from the sky as a “a drink of the gods”. This was a symbol that we constantly renew and are reborn in this lifetime. Amrta is a reminder that I do not have to wait for the external world to “rain down Amrta”, because it already exists in me. My goal is to constantly do the work and create art to bring the wisdom of Amrta out of my heart and share it with the world.
