PORTAL SUITE
Gateways leading into the unknown.
Openings, appearing in the physical realm; inviting a magical venture through time, and space.
Alluring entryways, initiating journeys of infinite possibilities, 'into the alchemical worlds of mind, and dream.'
INGRESS SUITE
Archways, arcades, and passages that avail travelers bejeweled pathways of ingress. Openings, to usher pilgrims on their way, toward transformation, and rebirth.
Scorpionic conduits, leading into, Lord Pluto's... 'dark nights' of the soul;' culminating in the resurrection of, 'the Phoenix.'

HAND TO HEART SUITE
Reaching for the, 'just out-of-reach.'
Coloring the quest for love in the stretch of the hand toward our heart's desire.
SHANGRI-LA
A remote and exotic utopian vision. An imaginary paradise on earth. A landscape of a faraway heaven, rendered in a dreamscape of watery colors, a vision conceived in reverie. Our visionary hideaway where beauty and idyllic tranquility reign.
