Acerca del libro
A technical challenge three years in the making, this large work stands with the most beautiful books ever produced in terms of aesthetics and subject matter presented.
This is not a museum catalog, but rather a book documenting and presenting the beautiful world of a private shrine room.
Exhibited within this book are more than 300 color plates detailing the shrine and its hundreds of art objects.
The title, A Divine Convergence, refers to the merging of two worlds: Dinétah (Navajoland) and Tibet.
Regarding the name of the shrine room, Nizhoni refers to "nizhóní", the Diné (Navajo) word for beautiful, and Budhozho represents the balance and harmony "hózhó" of combining Buddhist and Diné art.
This is a coffee table style book with the focus on visual representation. Knowing that the joy of this style of book is thumbing through the pages and viewing pictures with light reading, brief written explanations accompanying each plate have been included for added interest.
As a living, exalted sanctuary of serenity, this shrine room, showcased here in book form, is intended to bring the reader and viewer peace, balance, recovery, stability, wellbeing and joy.

Acerca del creador
Since childhood, Michael has had a fascination with all things beautiful, majestic and resplendent. In addition to building a shrine room, he pursues many other interests in the visual, graphic and performing arts. He lives in an ethnically and culturally diverse region of California, which has enhanced his primary interests in Asian, Buddhist and Native American art and culture. He has found a passion for capturing magical scenes with photography and creating spiritual art. He previously had a two-decade long career as a professional drafter and has made use of that experience to create his artistic works. Many of his pieces contain subject matter or are of a style never attempted before by others. He loves his art! Many of his own works hang in his home, and he wears it too. He hopes his artwork and photography inspires others to follow their dreams, turn their lives into a meaningful existence and create in beauty!
