Detail closeup of Valley of the Mind Acrylic On Canvas 22 x 26 inches 1986

The constant dialogue and visuals in my mind have always been hard for me to quiet making meditation very difficult. At an early age this is why the ritual of painting became important to my mental health and my dearest form of meditation. Connecting and silencing my thoughts via paint and color and textures and ideas that flow through me while painting is a sacred and spiritual act. While painting the moments that are most dear to me are the ones when the world seems to stop and all there is are the ideas that become so obvious to me and then they flow through the brush onto the canvas. This alignment with the universe is very special. The purpose of my painting is to capture these moments and hopefully to take the viewer to these inner worlds that I have traveled to and witnessed.

This collection represents a deep dive into those silent spaces where the subconscious takes the lead and the ego steps aside. Every stroke of the brush serves as a bridge between the physical realm and the vast landscapes of the imagination. Through Ethereal Explorations I invite you to step beyond the veil of the everyday and enter a state of pure observation. These works are not merely static images but are living records of a journey through the psyche. The vibrant hues and intricate layers reflect the complexity of the human spirit as it seeks harmony with the divine. By sharing these visions I hope to inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity about the mysteries that exist within us all. Each piece acts as a portal or a window into a sanctuary where time dissolves and only the essence of being remains. This is where the colors speak and the textures tell stories of ancient truths and future dreams.
