Inspirations for my work come to me as spontaneous images in my mind, and the natural beauty I see in the world. I combine the two on canvas, and a relationship takes place between reality and fiction. A war between letting go and being detailed occurs during my process.
What if we, as people on this earth, took more time to enjoy the world’s natural beauty and let go, just a little more, of things that keep us constrained and in categories? What if we chose to dream more, and instead of being discouraged by details, held onto the feeling of that dream coming true?
I only hope that my work can instill a feeling of tranquility and wonder to the viewer, encouraging the collision of fiction and reality.

What do we mean by this? Our diets are not complete. As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. Most of us do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas and cereal. We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged and pre-made meals. One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day.
We eat plenty, but we are still starving. The foods we eat are not providing our bodies with the nutrition they need to survive and be healthy. We are starving our bodies and we are sick. We suffer from diabetes, heart attacks, obesity, and the list goes on and on.
Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability of keeping itself healthy. If properly fed and given the right nutrients, the human body is designed to repair itself. To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise, and take high-quality supplements made from whole foods. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with the nutrients we are not getting from our diet – all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that foods possess – in the way that nature intended, in a whole food form.
Whole food supplements are made by concentrating foods for use in supplements. When concentrated correctly, they supply a multitude of the food’s components. Foods provide nutrients that work together to provide you with optimal nutrition for good health. However, not all whole food supplements are the same. Many supplements available in today’s marketplace range in quality. Companies are riding the wave of supplement popularity rather than focusing on commitment and quality.
For these reasons and many more, Urban Acupuncture Center both recommends and sells Standard Process whole food supplements at our office. We suggest that all of our patients start with a basic whole food multivitamin called Catalyn. More on Catalyn in our next newsletter.

We need help with the following: work at the front desk, greeting patients coming in, answering the phone, pulling files, helping patients with scheduling appointments, and occasional other odd jobs (emergency coffee runs). Our shifts generally run for 4 hours, so we need help in the middle of it for about 2 hours when we are the busiest. We are open 7 days a week, with 13 shifts, so there are still several days/hours to choose from. In return, we will give a treatment for each shift you work. Other perks are discounted classes, and hanging out with us! We’ll be happy help you understand Chinese Medicine a little bit better while your here.
