About Me

May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. May they be free of suffering and the causes of suffering. May they never be disassociated from the supreme happiness that is without suffering. May they remain in boundless equanimity, free from both attachment to close ones and rejection of others. • After being a graphic designer and art director for many years I decided to move forward with my desire to become a restorer. At the moment I am attending a 3 year program in Firenze for restoration of paintings on canvas and wood panel • view additional restoration photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharonkinnan/ • photos will be updated ... sometime soon! New photos of restoration, Italy, Scotland, Vienna, England and Croatia. Give me some time as I have over 5000 photos to sort through...
