As an artist, I've had many valleys to explore and mountains to climb. Much is documented in my memoir(Available on Amazon, or at my studio during the tour. I write about the challenges I've faced and the evolutionary gifts that have been my journey of becoming. Having a supportive arts community has nurtured my spirit and helped me rise up like the phoenix. Back in 2022 when we lost our home on Palomar Road, Lisa and I didn't know when our next home would reveal itself.

We were invited by a great peace builder to volunteer in Poland in support of Ukrainian mothers and their children. To live in service, and our community service led us onward to work in the town where Auschwitz memorial museum lives. We offered support for those impacted by the Holocaust. After a very fulfilling time of service the Ukrainian mothers moved onward, our services were complete and we returned to Ojai. One of the challenges was losing my main suppliers for my HOLOS Amulets. This fall, I will be releasing my remaining stock offering discounts including metal printed pendants and sculptures.

What I have been working on in preparation for this year's Studio Tour, a new portal series, like the one in the Museum Exhibition, new sizes HOLOS Amulets with new an 18K adjustable gold plated chain in a beautiful soft pouch to enhance the beauty of these as gifts. I also created 3" carved crystal amulets in quartz crystal and obsidian, nestled in a purple velvet pouch. I will also have a new series of sacred geometry designed wall hangings on embossed paper.

With much cultivation and nurturing my creative spirit, Is evolving past the endings and into new beginnings of creativity. I look forward to the October Studio Tour, and I also open my studio by appointment so please reach out to me.
My best wishes, Brian - Artist for Peace
