Found this in my inbox yesterday: "My name is Nikky. I am a high school student in Montreal, Quebec. I have recently been assigned a project for art class; contemporary artist research and critique assignment. Since abstract is my favorite type of art I chose to find an artist who composes just that. I stumbled upon your site and it took my breathe away. Your work is so inspiring and amazing. I love the many layers and media you use to perfect the imagine. Mystic Places in your portfolio "Pure Abstraction" has got to be one of my favorites. Yoga girl as well, it is all so perfect. I just wanted to tell you how much I look up you and your work. I need to mimic one of your pieces for the final part of my project, i hope it turns out ok! " Made my day - Thank you Nikky.
