         The Happiness series of paintings is an ongoing project started in 2018. The acrylic works on wood and canvas imagine glimpses of the ephemeral, ecstatic and limitless phenomena which we with our low bandwidth sentience, instantly process, label and reduce to the mundane subjective world within which we exist. The series celebrates the great yogis and teachers of Tibet such as Milarepa, Longchenpa, and Tsongkhapa who pierced the veil of Maya and realized such wonders as beginningless time and the oneness of the seer and the seen. 
 
         These works can simply be viewed as how one might look at the shadow of moving clouds on a rock, or perhaps a small section of a clear stream, or perhaps even the back of a woman in a white trench coat crossing a street in rush hour.
