Artist's Statement:
The Blessing Bowl was inspired by a story of Buddhist priests who believed everything placed in their beggar’s bowl was a blessing be it a grain of rice or a few coins. They lived on whatever was placed in their bowl on a daily basis. The content for this book are both the little and the big things in my daily life that I consider blessings.
