- Biographical Information
- In the painting entiled *Nourishment* honoring Asian culture, the theme of nourishment continues, a woman instructs a boy on the balance of the traditional Asian food pyramid and the lifelong journey that education/knowledge of what we eat, how we travel, and seemingly simple choices affect the whole world. In each of the six paintings playful mythological characters appear as well as native fruit and flowers, animals, musicians, dancers and a mix of rural and urban life meant to transport the viewer.
