"This painting is about promoting happiness to nourish well-being. Feelings of positivity and personal fulfillment that can boost our physical health and nourish our spirit. Happiness is a personal and purposeful journey that has many expressions. Enjoying relationships, pursuing goals, laughing, reaching for our health potential, practicing compassion and appreciating the simple pleasures of life are a few way you can explore happiness. My hope is that when people view this painting, they pause and reflect on the seeds of happiness in their own life ---and HOW they nourish those seeds each day.

My process began with meditating on the meaning of the painting. I contemplated the health benefits of actively practicing happiness in simple ways each day. As I meditated--I started painting and translating my contemplations into movement, colors, shapes, lines and brush strokes.
