Compassion is the expression of complete acceptance.

Sacred geometry is the study of spiritual meaning in various spatial arrangements. Symmetry offers a balance that resonates with humankind because of our bilateral physiology. We find a sense of balance, beauty, calmness in symmetrical compositions.
Jacqueline Shiu uses Chinese classical, Tibetan Thangka, & French art nouveau motifs in her paintings to illustrate the truth, the good, and the beautiful. Geometric proportions & symmetry express dignity, righteousness, and order; organic lines & shapes embody the complexity and depth of human emotions; detail & intricacy reflect human dedication and perseverance; and flowers are symbolic of grace and perfection.
