I
want to reopen our mind's thirst for beauty and transcendence.
Through imagery and the intricate nature of my work, I want
to spark the holy fire that
lies dormant in so many of us and to cast open the closed
doors of the heart. Beauty, truth and goodness are available
to everyone and can be found everywhere in our world, even
amidst the horrors and tragedies of today. We often fail to
see that which is right next to us and do not realize what
is already inherent in our own being. I want my art to point
out the glorious nature of all that is around us and very
importantly, all the glory and pure joy that is alive within
us as well.
I
received an extremely intense vision in February 2002 that
completely jolted my life out from under me. I saw an immense
mandala of flames and eyes, rotating in on itself, expanding
through space and dimensions. I became a vessel for its creation,
hardly sleeping or eating until the painting was complete.
Because I had no idea what happened and why, I researched
and read everything I could get my hands on. The mandala had
come to heal me, to end my path of self-destruction, and to
redirect my energy towards a positive, integral, spiritual
practice. Now, as I work from the inspiration of my growing
inner light, I am constantly learning, discovering and searching
for ways of conveying our different levels of consciousness
through my art. I depict my journey, referencing archetypes,
spiritual symbolism, my own meditation and vision imagery
in an effort to expand beyond myself and to touch the universal
elements that exist within all of us.
An
artist's creation can be a manifestation of spirit. We all
share in this spirit when we are deeply moved by a work of
art. We channel the artist's own divine experience, which
grabs a hold of the universally fundamental point in our human
soul. To reach this is my ultimate goal and should be one
of the goals of art itself. In this way, art is a portal through
which the holy light of inspiration travels from artist to
viewer. It acts as a mediator between the spiritual realms
and our every day functions, tapping our subconscious with
extraordinary glimpses of what we are capable of. Art needs
to give unselfishly to the viewer opening up an appreciation
for life with beauty, truth, goodness and love. We live in
a world that has denied an essential facet of the human mind
for far too long. To realize our true existence, not
only as individuals, but as mankind, we must reincorporate
spirituality and loving kindness into our lives and interconnect
it with our sciences, cultures and social systems.
The
brilliance of our experience on this world is life itself.
Every human being, despite nationality, socio-political rank,
sex, religious orientation or
lack thereof, has the potential to achieve enlightenment.
We all have the ability to discover the expanding universe
within ourselves and to become one with the ultimate light
of the Absolute. Art is an essential vehicle for transcendence,
both in describing this potential and in illuminating the
visions and possibilities of the third eye. I want my work
to reflect the beauty and wonder of life and consciousness,
and to inspire others with similar
experiences to pursue the ultimate unity through love and
compassion on their own paths.
