“ Quest for Tranquility” is an eclectic mixed media collection of works that seeks to bring about, at the very least, a brief moment of peace in our often frantic daily lives. The collection seeks to provide an escape from the mundane and stressful. The works search for that combination of color , texture and subject that will cause one’s mind to find a few brief, or hopefully many, moments of reprieve from a modern world that constantly challenges a person’s quest for a few sparks of inner peace. The collection seeks to let one’s mind meander to a more blissful place of sensation.
