I love India. This place of grand geography, rich and diverse culture, energetic and hopeful people, many languages, long history, festivals, religious devotion and wonderful traditions provides the artist a vast palette of images to explore. Above all, color, India is a place of color. These features of life in India are the inspiration for this work.
