I started the Lotus series in 1995 after seeing a tattoo. It is an image that has a powerful symbolic meaning and history in many cultures. I never had an intention to explore it as much as I have but it has just become a part of my story. The more I created, the deeper the meaning for me and as a source of inspiration and creative development.

From a hotel in the Philippines to a hospital in Seattle to a boutique hotel lobby in Olympia, they continue to generate interest on many levels.
