ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I was born with several talents: as a child, I was gifted musically. Singing and musical instruments came to me naturally. But it was not until I picked up a brush that I found myself. I would sit for hours in a new, unknown world. Only painting could satisfy my soul.
People ask how I find the inspiration to paint a particular subject. It comes to me through visions. For example, the tiger, Avatara, Mountain God Spirit. He appeared to me in a dream, elderly, weak and asking for my help. The following night he came again and I was able to escort him back to his path. In my portrait he is young and powerful.
A family crisis kept me from painting for several years. I appealed to God for guidance. The answer came back in one word: paint. What should I paint? The following dawn, in a vision, I beheld a large, brilliant butterfly. And over the next few days I received three cards and letters each bearing a butterfly. I got the hint. Two watercolor butterflies, Blue and Golden, are the result.
I have no subject matter in mind; I wait for inspiration to come.

Saguaro in Bloom:
Soma’s intricate, large-scale portrait of a saguaro cactus in bloom (upper left) was displayed in downtown Washington, DC at the VSA Gallery affiliated with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. This show featured one work of art from each U.S. state; Soma’s saguaro was selected to represent Arizona.
