Mann About Town! 4/28/09

 

Remember my motorcycle picture? Well, that was taken during the photoshoot for Mann About Town! I tried to keep it under wraps for a while because I wanted to surprise you all, but the magazine is now released in NYC. I especially love the image they used of me in my home office; busy at work.

I am in NYC for the BISOU BISOU Fall Collection event taking place tonight and I ran into beautiful model, Bar Rafaeli, on Park Ave. five minutes ago!

Book of the Week 4/22/09

 

I recommend that all parents read the book Dr. Drew Pinsky’s THE MIRROR EFFECT: How Celebrity Narcissism is Seducing America.

It’s about how temptations solve our problems the way celebrities do through image obsession, sexual acting out, drug use, and diva behavior--a big threat to our relationships, our families, our mental health, and our safety.

Reading this book will awake your awareness for the dangers that are in our home. Let's make some changes.......

Not only does my yoga practice keep my body healthy, it frees my spirit. My life is beyond hectic and causes me an extreme amount of stress. Yoga keeps me grounded, focused, and healthy so that I can continue to create and share. Hope you enjoy the video of some of my favorite yoga poses.

New York, New York 4/15/09

I am thrilled for my event in New York City next week. The Fall 2009 Bisou Bisou collection will be on display; as well as a collection of my paintings. I am looking forward to everyone’s reaction – and a fabulous meal in the city.

Forces of Nature

The roots of human beings are stronger than we can possibly understand. When I paint the forces of nature, it is not only the power of earth that I describe, but also the power of the mind. The possibilities and the vision are infinite. My wish is that my paintings inspire you and give you strength, hope, and confidence that you are part of the universe and can make a positive impact on the future.<!--break-->

Floral Collection

Flowers are part of the beauty of life. They represent the feelings of humans. Why we are attracted to a particular bouquet or a single flower doesn’t have any explanation. It is all about emotions. A flower has a short lifetime, but is also immortal at the same time. I love painting them…a way to immortalize myself perhaps.
