NEW BEGINNINGS
![Date Date](/universal/images/transparent.png)
So much growth has happened between April 15, 2010 and today. When we first opened our doors to the beautiful city of Los Angeles as Papillion Institute of Art over a decade ago we had no idea or expectations of what would happen next. What did happen next was a lot of freedom to explore. We tried new things and said yes to whatever we wanted to do and whoever we wanted to do those things with. The freedom to grow was with us for many many years until it wasn't. Going into a years long sabbatical the next exploration of PAPILLION ART was about introspection. It was about finding freedom through self discovery and spiritual expansion. All of the projects I am pursuing today have come out of that space. I have re-launched my family's farm, Royal Queen Farms. Soon I will be opening a new three story arts and performance space called ROOTS with a farm to table restaurant on the ground floor. I have also created an archival library where all of my work in art and consciousness can be available for research purposes, the Upeksha Query will have space in the new building. I am as eager to share as you may be to hear and see. More details coming when the timing is right.
