I pray for a vision quest, of awakening wisdom;
Remembering and forgetting; of existence into the sacred spiral.

Where all life began.
Into the swirling pool of life force, an infinite source.
In a sacred way held by fibers of power, is manifesting an image,
an illusion that stops time, space and ego.
Deeply shape shifting within the "sacred dream".
Interconnected, interwoven, higher conscious,
universal laws held in the web of prayer.

Spiral-evolutionary way of creation.
An ancient wisdom and source of healing.
As I surrender to the infinite flow,
I go deep in my own consciousness,
"rider of the wind"
and into the tranquility of it's existence.

The wisdom in the paintings is within the “mazes,”
held by the power of prayer
and the sacred way of color of rhythm and pattern.
Transparent melody, existent into the freedom of it’s colorful sound.

With the red I root on the earth,
filling the warmth of it's fire, energy source.
Flaming emotions, as the orange,
embodying and awakening of there flow,
like the water, the river of life.
I see the light of the sun shining from within the yellow flower.
All is blooming from within my heart,
the connector to all, the sound I hear.
With a dance in a green grassy field and a breath free and open,
I sing a song wide as the "Great Blue Eye".
With a vision in the purple light I stand, universal vision,
which makes us dance all together
into the center of togetherness.

As a storyteller, the tale I weave in each of my paintings
acknowledge multi cultural consciousness.
Pulse of energy, moving from one
to the other side of the web.
I move, dance on one side knowing there is movement
on the other into the greater ocean.
The map of stars, multi-dimensions, of realms…
spiraling right through the center,
of the void, of it’s presence. Where magic lives and all is “one“.

I use mostly oil and acrylic paints on canvas,
reflecting my journey of self-discovery,
creating a therapeutic, meditating tool, with integrating powers.
Each of the webs breathes and expands,
allowing one’s imagination to take place in.
As one is entering the labyrinth’s path of the paintings present flow,
the eyes are absorbing the movement and
making a connection with the unconscious mind.
Who is opening up the doors of the infinite possibilities of one own state of being,
of consciousness, of it's own breath.
And as the wind shakes up the lives of the trees in fall,
the transformation follows.
Opening barriers, loosening up the tightly held knots,
fears… and expanding, breathing in a life force.
Floating along, it’s flow to the entrance of the gateway,
of the alchemy of its medicine.
As liberating from deep within,
reflecting higher above vibration of the nature rhythm and low.

With all my goodness I pray for illumination, walk the path of truth,
with open heart, balance and equality… as I see,
all the illusions reflect upon dragonfly transparent colorful wings.

For the unlimited being with no boundaries.

Into the mystic and transformation.

Thank you Justin, my son, my song;
Thank you life experiences, mirrors, my school;
And I pray, for the prayer is my teacher,
for my life is an art.
