Update from the reclusive artist.

“Winter and summer are both needed for growth. Once this idea settles in the heart, then each moment of life is of gratitude. Let this become your meditation and prayer: thank God every moment–for laughter, for tears, for everything. Then you will see a silence arising in your heart that you have not known before. That is bliss.”

As some people were wondering where I vanished….I have been busy with life lately and have returned to the easel, not that I ever really left. As some may know, I had a little bitty fall down some stairs and broke my finger which was fragile from an enchondroma. It was a blessing in disguise I am now cast-less and rocking it again so be prepared for many more shows and paintings in the months to come. All is well in Tori-land and I am looking forward to sharing tons of new works, love, shows and life with you all. Happy 2010 and all my love and hugs!!
