For over 40 years, I have been a Sikh, and like many of my age, I had many opportunities to be with Siri Singh Sahib. I found that he delighted in business and loved giving advice on how to do better. Sometimes it was just with a subtle hint, at other times quite the opposite…

In 1980, before I became a Sikh, I did a painting I called “Happy Hour”. In the painting my Kundalini yoga teacher, Sat Nam Singh, was sitting, clothed, on a bench at a bus stop surrounded by several figures wearing only clown make-up and accessories.

Although I was formally trained in art, the greatest lesson, and the one that has most influenced my work, was the lesson I learned from my spiritual teacher, Yogi Bhajan. He taught me to be unattached to the work, to the process and to the idea of an identity as an artist. Since…
