Organic Cathedral



The way we view our environment can have a great impact on the way we see ourselves and the world we live in. The Organic Cathedral is a view of the ecology that supports us, as a cathedral, perhaps the way an animal might view it's own ecological environment, with respect and understanding of the natural rhythms. The style of this painting is also in the vein of the futurist, Joseph Stella. In a way it is just a forward looking piece of art that builds on his vision but it also directly elevates the ecological elements to a level of spiritual expression, with the third eye, the spiritual eye, the all seeing eye as the altar and all the other elements gathered around just as one would see in a cathedral. The painting is composed of a series of windows that are representative of stained glass art in many gothic cathedrals depicting a story of the interaction of man and the divine. It is the story of every human being, every animate and inanimate object.

Labyrinth


We are walking through life with closed eyes. The Labyrinth of Human Existence is an extension of some of the work done in the early twentieth century by the futurists and the surrealists who struggled to connect the unconscious with the conscious mind. This painting is a work that intertwines the ideas of painters like Joseph Stella and Joan Miro with ancient mystical teachings that reverberate within many cultures from the Ancient Indus Valley Civilization to the 21 century global movement to expand conscious awareness. Labyrinth is a clear view of the bridge between the conscious and the unconscious and the complexity of navigating the road of life. Depicted in this painting are symbolic representations from mystical texts of our physical body, our dream body or dream state, our deep sleep body or deep sleep state and our highest spiritual body or super conscious state. Labyrinth also symbolizes the awakening conscious mind to a great reality. The monochromatic landscape of the painting reflects the simple and yet complex mysterious web of life. Life can be simple or complex. It is the artist's intention to bring a greater awareness and appreciation for the difficulty and ease-fullness of being.

The Waves of the Nectar of Bliss





'The Waves of the Nectar of Bliss' was inspired by a quote from the Indian mystic poet saint Jnaneshwar Maharaj. The image was created with the intention to be a vehicle for healing and is used by a healing practitioner. While visiting a healer I had an image come to mind that represented to me the essence of Jnaneshwars' description of higher conscious states and what that experience felt like. It is the essence of our being bathed in gentle blissful waves of blue light. The blue sphere represents the seat of the soul within the human presence and the blue star above the sphere represents the vehicle by which a being travels from one world to the next. The blue star is painted in the style of an Aboriginal painting but the style of the rest of the painting is one of the artist creative inspiration.

Geometry of Love


The Geometry of Love is an image of Love inspired by the divine creative Mother.
This painting is an expression of sacred geometry, Aboriginal visions of the land, the rainbow serpent power, and yogic symbols of the divine within each human being. The Geometry of Love represents a bridge between previously separate ideologies and painting themes. It is a manifestation of a specific intention to communicate visually the symbols of the human perspective as experienced in deeper states of conscious awareness. The center of the painting acts as a vortex and draws the viewer into the realm of ethereal space described in the tantric texts of India and Kashmir. The triangle with a blue sphere at the center is recorded in these texts as the seat of the soul. The triangle, the circle and the square are the basic building shapes of all things and the title of the painting is meant to express the idea that these basic shapes are a manifestation of an unseen force, a great field of energy that contains all space. It is my good fortune to bring this image to the world with the intention of shifting conscious energy vibrations to a more beneficial wavelength. I share this image with the world so that it may fulfill the intention that brought it into manifestation.
