Story:
In life, we are searching for the better life led or right path. But on our journey, we all come to points where there is a fork in the road. Do we go left or right? One of the great Tibetan lamas summed up a life well traveled as one that only crossed the river once. And once beyond, found what they were looking for. Find your river, cross it, continue without looking back and experience a renewed sense of power and enlightenment. Namaste.

Notes on Original Work of Art:
Acrylic and fluorescent paints on heavy 2-ply French watercolor paper, veiled over with hand-made Japanese rice lace, bathed in a mixture of archival beeswax and UV-resistant polymers, bordered with insets of early 1800’s Mongolian “black” Buddhist manuscript pages written in crushed jewels, with outside panels covered with Yixing plaster with impressions made from 17th – 18th century Chinese fabric stamps, painted then gilded, accented with twelve Chinese Northern Song dynasty (960 A.D. – 1117 A.D.) coins, affixed using melted religious wax collected from holy temples and monasteries, adorned at upper right with an early 1800’s Chinese charm with late 1800’s Chinese tassel from a girl’s shawl, all mounted onto archival museum board.
