Book,Workshops, Quotes
Della was inspired by Buckminster Fuller in 1979 when she saw his body disappear when lecturing and he became a bright light. She knew his statement - "that you do not belong to you, you belong to the universe"- rang true and put this cosmic energy into her paintings and again with him as inspiration makes her work for 100% of humanity and all life. She has been a part of the Design Science Studio the last two years - one partner being the Buckminster Fuller Institute in what is a ten year Design Science Decade program visioned originally by Buckminster Fuller.
Della has ten paintings she is working on in the One Pradihaan Period = here are two.
