Amara knows all of the artists who create each banner from her designs. Here's what she says about her art: "I greatly enjoy the process of translating subtle emotions and ideas unto a graphic image. I prefer to create art that is based on spiritual awareness, and which uplifts and inspires the biewer. My own spiritual path is central to my life, and through my artwork I attempt to honor ther Spirit in all forms and spiritual paths."
