Written By ARC Gallery and Educational Foundation

I am an artist and shaman whose interdisciplinary practice explores human evolution, consciousness, and our relationship to the natural world. Drawing from ancient symbolism, mythology, the I Ching, archaeology, and contemporary science, I work across painting, sculpture, installation, and ritual to investigate how art can serve as a technology for expanding awareness. My work often brings ancient systems of knowledge into conversation with contemporary abstraction, exploring transformation, interconnectedness, and the tension between matter and spirit. I am interested in art as both a visual experience and a space for reflection—one that can open new ways of understanding ourselves, one another, and our place within the larger living world.
