Here is Your Invitation to the Opening Reception

Sitting with The Drishti Paintings

I am thrilled to invite you to the opening reception of my latest exhibition, The Drishti Experience: Capturing the Frequency of My Well-Being, happening on Thursday, November 7th, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at the beautiful Amelia Douglas Gallery at Douglas College.

This collection is especially meaningful to me, as it visually reflects my journey of healing, well-being, and spiritual growth. Through vibrant colors, layered textures, and sacred geometry, I’ve captured what I discovered along the way. 

Each large-scale painting represents one of the body’s energy centers, offering a glimpse into the emotional and spiritual connections that have guided my creative process.

The reception will include live music, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and a chance to connect. I’d love to meet you, share more about this journey, and hear your thoughts as you experience the artwork.
