art dream on the outskirts of art breathes the desert in the dryness i lie dreaming of mastery longing for a drink of genius could my fictions mature into brilliant lights that thrive in the city of art when it rains microscopic flowers of complex beauty intensify the emptiness.

The Artist’s Story Throughout this life, I have chased the golden thread of wonder. The quest to create has propelled me from mundane existence through unexpected adventures, both worldly and divine. At the outset, I thought the desire to be an artist was an arrow straight enough to swiftly strike its mark. But the shapeshifting goal proved to be elusive. At pivotal points, life intrudes and abruptly casts one onto an unforeseen path.

My life began on the family farm. It was there, in the rich sandy loam, where countless seeds took root and bloomed into nourishment for others. Even though I was immersed in the bustle of a working farm, the dream of art found a way to filter into the practicalities of agrarian life. While scanning the dusty fields, I discovered beauty in the subtle colorations of the rows of red cabbage. When peering beneath the dusky sheen of a purple-skinned eggplant, I saw windows open to hidden realms.

In a conventional world, art is considered to be a luxury, not a necessity. One can easily be lulled to sleep by the relentless routines of survival and rutted in traditional life paths, as prescribed by the norm. But art persisted in dreaming through me. Over the years, art managed to steer me back to the course of an artist's schooling, all the while edging me closer to the geographic epicenter of creation.

The Art Body In the early 80's, I burst through the wall of painting into the rush, the thrill, the madness, that is known as performance art.

While visiting the city of art, I was riveted by a bold show of masterful performance. At that moment, I’d found it, the pulse of raw creation. Immediately, I was jolted from the flatlands of 2-dimensional expression into the multidimensional art of presence. Although the thought of being the art medium was a scary proposition for a reserved person such as I, the inner artist remained undaunted.

Compelled by dreams and impulse, I allowed art to live through me. My body became the art body, the living vehicle for ephemeral events. My purpose was to emanate pure energy, pure vision, pure art. Lofting in the heights of creation, I felt like I was breathing light.

For a brief but glorious time, the art body thrived in the flow of creative activity. When reality demanded its due, relegating art to moments of imagining and sketching, the art body quietly subsided. The visions of performance trickled down to fleeting glints of daydreams and somatic remembrance.

The Art of Invisible Light Some time later, with the complexities of life churning headlong, a grim watershed loomed out of nowhere, shattering the ground on which I stood. Suddenly, I found myself dangling above the jaws of death. Life had delivered a fierce taste of mortality to shock me into taking my new assignment. “You, be a healer,� the powers above commanded. So I did.

It may seem that art had abandoned me, a disposable servant set adrift on a divergent course. But I soon realized that I had been relegated to the creative underground. I was meant to learn the art of invisible light. Subtle channels throughout my body were activated and expanded, so I could withstand the potent influxes of pure energy that poured through me, infusing me with the vital light of life. Immersed in the mysteries of the healer's world, I learned to serve the enlivening energy of the universe for healing, spiritual transformation, and elevating consciousness.

My education in metaphysics naturally progressed to include the intuitive arts of the oracle. As an artist, I had always been able to see creative visions in my imagination. As a healer, my native psychic gifts were extended for a futuristic purpose.

With heightened clairvoyance, I witnessed the dynamics of the invisible realms in action. I saw how celestial cycles set in motion streams of evolutionary energy to impact the consciousness of humanity.

Over the ensuing years, my creative activity diverged into several streams. I practiced the arts of the healer, the intuitive, the oracle, the meditator, the diviner. Beams of healing energy broadcast into the cosmos during meditation. Stories from the future appear when I write. Visions from the invisible realm spontaneously appear in my imagination. All the while, I've never forgotten the sublime sensation of breathing the rarified light of living art.

The Art Body Amplified Performance art is a meaningful gesture, a fleeting contact, an intimate event, a transformative experience. Its power depends upon the strength of the art body's presence. The quality of presence is determined by the depth and breadth of the body's subtle energy field. In essence, performance art is truly the art of subtle energy, the art of invisible light.

Learning the healer's art has activated a higher level of energy in my subtle body. Sensitized to feel invisible energy, trained in the powers of light, the art body within has been elevated.

The healing body has merged with the art body to empower a richer field of radiance. Thus, my foray in the healer’s world proved to serve art's purpose.

The art body is awake. I see new visions. Creative impulse surges. Once again, the art body comes alive to broadcast energy, but this time with greater resonance. Flowing in the spectrum of universal energy, with the equanimity of the universal healer, the wisdom of the oracle, the compassion of the sage, and the purity of art, the art body is the art avatar.

The Art Avatar In the age of light, the art avatar rises. The art avatar makes art to serve humanity, not to decorate the ego. She is calibrated to aid the evolution of human consciousness through the art of invisible light. Attuned to universal energy, she emanates rays of healing, inspiration, and liberation.

Multiple streams of creative energy channel through the art avatar with a greater force and a more subtle impact than ever to project a radiance that spans the ages. The art avatar shines the light of creative energy for the benefit of all.

Destiny Life is designed by destiny. Unexpected twists on one's life path turn out to be aimed at the true target. Life desired more for me; it demanded that I know my true mission. Crossing the watershed required full transformation; that was its purpose. The epicenter of creation is a spiritual destination. It is centered in the creative radiance within.

Chasing the golden thread of wonder has propelled me from my roots in the farmer's earthly field, through the healer's realm of invisible energy, back to the artist's dreamfield, the vibrant, visionary space of living art. Artist, Healer, Oracle, Sage, Avatar. I was born with the spirit of the artist. It is now time to fulfill my destiny.

The Artist's Evolution The artist's evolution plays a vital part in the elevation of humanity. The new visionary aims their sight much higher than conventional constraints, far beyond the edge of the future.

Inspiration flows through our heightened perception so we may see, feel, hear, and taste the creative potential that surrounds us.

Artists have always worked with the medium of light, but now the command is to become conscious of invisible light. In this era, artists must expand into all levels of their subtle energy bodies. Extend your spirit in all dimensions. Recognize and develop your natural powers. Create with the multidimensional potency of invisible energy.

You are Artist, Healer, Oracle, Sage, Avatar, Creator.

It's time to empower your gifts of intuition. Access your immense radiance. Imagination is your dreamfield. Continue inward to the heart of your epicenter of creation. As a creative visionary, use your psychic gifts to see a brilliant future in the realm of light. You are alive at this very moment to envision and create the world anew.
