This world I call the in-between, or Between Worlds".

"Set in an underwater world, ethereal beauties are entangled with forests,clouds, sea creatures, and vibrant floral blooms. These whimsical and playful images tell a story of longing for a world full of beauty, wonder, and love.
When I was just 8 years old, my mother took me to England, where we discovered whimsical flower fairy cards in a little shop in Surrey. The artist was Cicely Mary Barker, the illustrator who created the famous Flower Fairies in the shape of ethereal smiling children with butterfly wings.

Here, my childhood fairies find their echo—

Mysticism keeps men sane. As long as you have mystery, you have health; when you destroy mystery, you create morbidity. The ordinary man has always been sane because the ordinary man has always been a mystic. He has permitted the twilight. He has always had one foot in earth and the other in fairyland.
