Media: Sequins, beads, monofilament on muslin

My personal visions of peace always turn to moments in nature.  They reaffirm my faith in life and beauty continuing in the face of warfare and conflict.  This is especially true of the smallest moments, like the nose of a koi breaking the surface of his pond as he nibbles blossoms floating there among the bubbles.
