Bright Ideas: Buddha Om Elephant

Posted on April 5, 2019 by dkatiepowellart

Posted on March 15, 2019 by dkatiepowellart

I’ve always loved giraffes. Stephen bought this for me before Junior High One of those lovely gold-tone enameled pins, and I sketched it before I sold it so I’d have that memory. I paired it with a quote from Pema … Continue reading →
