About

Blue Ray is the first canvas that was 100% channeled. I had started meditating in 2020 a minimum of 1/2 hour every day, usually 2x per day. Having experienced a spontaneous Kundalini Awakening left me no choice other than learning tools to help regulate the intense energy rushing through my system. In meditation, I had visual downloads that would drift across my mind’s eye and eventually found their way to a canvas (“Meditation Thistle”). Blue Ray was developed following a sound bath during Shavasana at Solshine Yoga in New Bedford. This work is different from others in that it was created with a sense of urgency and immediacy. It only took a few hours to lay the groundwork for what would be the completed piece.

The tableaux is meant to look as if it’s clouds or water patterns with forms below that are reminiscent of the structure of the buildings where the studio exists, right on the edge of the water. The community there has a built-in spiritual vortex. Many Spiritual practitioners tout the importance of strengthening practice with intention and community. From a Spiritual perspective, what I describe about my process makes perfect, logical sense. If you approach it scientifically, dare I write psychologically? The view is different. Not only was this work basically “sucked in from the ether” but a little more strange is that originally, as I was laying in Shavasana, it began as a remote view of what looked like a chicken wing. Like the bones of a discarded, recently eaten chicken wing. I was not understanding why I was seeing what looked liked leftovers but I remained in the gaze. Being open, I allowed what needed to appear to me to come through which evolved into what could be interpreted as “Light wings or angels.” My heart and mind opened up to the void and I saw legions circling above us.
