Why is Art Healing?

I have learned that the process of making art is a way to investigate and expand our perceptions of the world and our relationship to it. If approached honestly and intuitively the creative experience becomes an inspiration—a breath taken in—like we experience on our mats. When a work of art moves us, it reveals evidence of a personal and universal journey that contains the essence of life’s unexplainable existential mysteries. Through the process of creating, slowing down to observe the world, learning to breathe intelligently, moving towards introspection, dreaming of the possibility of peace and universal healing—Yoga mind and intention weaves it all together. It is the string that connects Spirit to Absolute Intelligence, Nature, Creativity, Love, and Potential.

As a teacher and practitioner of Art and Yoga I have consistently witnessed and experienced first hand the potential of these disciplines as opportunities towards healing and realization. I am certain that Yoga and Art complement each other as personal and collective gateways towards a greater understanding of the self, the world and our responsibility to these things. It is my hope that as we learn to experience the transformative qualities of Yoga, we also open to the potential of creative expression so that our journeys can extend into the fascinating depth of our subconscious and beyond.

ARTIST SERIES STATEMENT

Zero Point Field and Sacred Anatomy Series Zero Point Field is said to be “a repository of all fields and all ground energy states and all virtual particles. It is a field of fields.” (Lynne McTaggard, “The Field”) The existence of the Zero Point Field is the contemporary explanation for many metaphysical

notions such as extra sensory perception, chi, mind/body relationships, remote healings and miracles. Today we look to science to prove what ancient philosophers, oracles, shamans, and Eastern wisdom have known all along.Most of us who take time to reflect on the progression of our lives will notice that for a large part—we are our thoughts. Our lives perform around our intentions—calculated or not. But dare we think that we are the sole proprietor of our outcomes, we must also notice that our world is not all about what we intend it to be. It is also about exchanges, transience, and the unpredictable nature of things. It is about our relationship to everything we think and feel, plus everything we touch. It is about a Zero Point Field of interconnection. It is foremost about the collective us.

My Zero Point Field series celebrates this revolution and hopes to inspire a

visual doorway into this realm of interconnected possibilities. Through the exchange

of intention and surrender may we become enlightened to the potential of unity, community, purpose and the spiritual radiance in all beings.
