Artist’s Statement

Ram Dass is one of my greatest teachers in life, as he is in the lives of so many others as well. He was a knower of hearts, and a seer of souls. Ram Dass shared his Guru with me. He brought so many of us to our Guru. This portrait of him was created by the grace of Maharaj-ji, as I pray that all of my art is. I am incredibly grateful to be able to create art that is in alignment with my highest values. I hope this piece can bring love and joy into your homes like Ram Dass did in our hearts. Jai Gurudev!
