I am a full time designer and artist. I use brush, carving knife, camera lens and other tools for my work. I create designs that will knock you out of your shoes and I create art that tells a story, that moves, that seduces.
Elements of traditional techniques and materials in new contexts are the recipe for my brew and through that hopefully recognized for its uniqueness. If I can create a dialogue with the viewer, using images from life in all its facets, I am content.

If you check out my website or the links below which are all about my work you’ll know who and what I am…
Aloha From Maui!
I love your blog. Thee is so much info here. You are using your blog as a regular website. I love this newer concept.
I linked to you.
PLEASE show your whole face to us.
I think it is interesting tha you refer to your images as a recipe for your brew. I am feeling the same these days — this is why I am starting to call my newer images “Digital Cocktails”,
Visit me in Maui soon!

Aloha back to you, Randy!
Thank you for your kind words and for the link.
I put up a photo my partner made this year while I was working. I always feel very inept being photographed myself although I love to photograph other people.
Guess if I had one of those wonderful “hawaiian faces” it were different…
I’d rather be recognized through my work – that’s why I choose the head of my favourite sculpture “Putri Dedes” as an avatar.
Btw – I am using my photoblog only as a playing tool – the more “serious” stuff is on my other blog “Images and Imaginations” and on my official website http://www.vyala-arts.com/

Your work is amazing. Truly beautiful art is not always easy to find. I have found it here. I will bookmark this site and come back often for new updates. Thanks for keeping it fresh.

I found your blog today and I found a lot of what you wrote here to be very interesting and I definitely will be back. I have added you to my blogroll and wondered if you would like to check out my art blog and do the same.

Your exquisite work inspires me ! I am co-creating a home with an amazing family in Santa Barbara and we have been looking for a special piece for their master bedroom for over a year. This evening I sent them your link to enjoy. I would love to send you some photos of the 12 foot Malaysian gate we used for their headboard. Possibly you would be interested in a commission for a bed treatment art piece.

Dear Cynthia,
thank you so much for your kind words and compliments. What could be a greater compliment from someone who is “dealing” with inspirations each day. And thank you also for distributing my link!
PS. I am sending you also a separate email.
