A real life story, where truth is stranger than fiction, takes you on a surreal moonlit journey. Mostly you will travel through the dark, witnessing the wonders of the night, in awe of the things you never knew existed. You will be sharing audacious adventures with a light painter who doesn’t take herself or night dangers too seriously. The author will make you laugh and cry simultaneously.

Heartwarming sub stories, life threatening encounters, funny moments and self-realization makes this a truly memorable story; a story that almost never happens. A story started with wild chase of the Northern Lights in a convertible across the potato fields, and turned into the series of adventures that spanned the moonlit landscapes of Montana, Guatemala Jungle, the Rockies and the Prairies, Canadian North, and odd places in between.

It is inevitable that the author gets in trouble being far from civilization and at night; and then learns about night’s beauty and dangers, its appeal and its peril, its bounty and its deception. The author shares a ghost town with a young bear, fights off a wolf with a tripod, and light paints the ruins next to a raging lynx; light paints Mayan ruins listening to the sounds of mating jaguars and howler monkeys; travels to the Great Canadian North and saves an adorable puppy she names Musko. Finally, the author deals with doubt, insomnia and extreme exhaustion, both physical and psychological; but defies danger and common sense and at the end, prevails.

The author explores human fascination with ruins and abandoned places, walking on the border between the tangible and imaginary; witnesses the passage of time and asks life’s ever pressing questions, rubbing shoulders with remnants of the past. The author conquers fear and demonstrates how passion and insatiable curiosity drive one forward to fulfill one’s potential. As the moonlit landscapes are changing, mind landscape is changing as well. The story spans several years and touches on friendship and loss, near-death and out-of-body experience, being in the "zone", total despair and personal renaissance, and the effects of severe sleep deprivation. It’s an honest book written without holding back. It tackles universal questions that anybody can relate to.

This story is published to inspire you to live passionately and give it your best.

The book involves a Studio Dog. This project started in 2013 just like all my creations – with an idea knocking on a backdoor of my brain, long before my dog made its way into the studio. Writing took off with gusto, but when a real pup entered my life, he clashed with the story’s protagonist… and won, wiping out many conceptions.

I had deliberately given my real pup a different name, but when he almost died, and I decided to rename him to change his luck. It happened that the pup took the name of the story’s protagonist.

As usual, the set back ushered new ideas and I quickly realized that I am using this story to write my own myth. The missing pieces of a puzzle I needed to complete the story presented themselves only in 2017.

I can’t make any commitment to the completion of the book, as I don’t want to harass my muse, but I am now working on it non-stop.

Albums with my abstract art are coming soon. Stay tuned.
