Epiphany Of Cosmic Consciousness illustrates a moment of being connected in all ways to all things..the universe. It is a psychospiritual experience I’ve heard many people speak of, that passes all too quickly yet leaves it’s experiencer dazzled. The white horse in the image is symbolic of purity, strength; all the qualities in us that heroically bears our passage. The feathers are a metaphorical reference to the flight of the soul.This image is photo based and has gone through an organic mixed media process. Prints beauifully.

The lighthouse stands alone. / It leads a solitary existence whose purpose is to shine light into dark places. No two lighthouses will ever stand together….for then neither would show their true light to the world. They require space and distance to do their best work. So they spread their light across the land, and across the ocean, steadfast and courageous, guiding, inspiring, never knowing who might be touched by their radiance, always seemingly alone. Yet imagine – what if they could connect with the energy of another lighthouse in a distant place, and their combined power and light create a previously unknown magic to embrace the Earth with force and compassion. While their feet remain firmly planted on their homeground, it is only the space between them that allows the healing light to travel back and forth across expanse and time so that it can be seen and felt by all. Would the Earth itself feel this web of illumination? There must be darkness for the true beauty of light to be appreciated, there must be space for the true nature of love to shine. / ... / .. / . / (Thanks to Kryon for inspiration) PLEASE view larger for best effects…. :-))

From the original gouache and coloured pencil on watercolour paper. Despite winning a number of awards and commendations, this picture has never been for sale – it is one of the first illustrations I did and hangs above my bed because I just love it so much! The moral of this picture is that when the last of our hope leaves this world, all that will be left will be dull and lifeless. The butterflies symbolise flight and transformation. The unicorn represents hope, creativity, purity and spirit. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. Bright Blessings:) This image is fully copyrighted and may not be copied, borrowed, stolen or reproduced in any way without my express permission.

Gaia, goddess of the Earth / Your children when combined / Provide the seed to give life birth / As we know life defined / / Inseparable three children are / Mountain, Sea, and the Sky / For if these three became afar / Earth’s life would surely die / / Your children share each others gifts / Exchange these gifts all day / Rotated in unending shifts / So life on Earth can stay / / The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. / / Named after the Greek Earth goddess, this hypothesis postulates that all living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth’s environment that promotes life overall. / / This fractal artwork depicts this infinite symbiotic relationships that make Gaia, or our Mother Earth, the living and sustainable planet that it is. I have provided cutaways of the artwork below to view as I narrate the significance of that particular segment of the artwork. The cutaways are at 33% to give you an idea as to the complexity of the artwork. / / First, the overall shape of the artwork is not completely round. It is ever so slightly elliptical, as is the Earth, which has a greater circumference around the equator than it does across the poles. This is due to the fact that our Mother Earth is not a big rock, but rather fluid and alive under her thin skin called her crust, which itself floats around the globe as moving tectonic islands. Being fluid within, the centrifugal force of the earth’s own rotation causes the elliptical bulge on the plane of the equator. / / The lines in the artwork are continuous, with no beginning or end. This represents the symbiotic and cyclic nature of the Gaia hypothesis, whereas, all parts of Gaia are both dependent and interconnected to one another. We will follow these lines as I continue to describe the artwork. / / Water – The True Ambrosia / / When scientists go looking for life in the cosmos today, they consider first a planet’s ability to sustain liquid water. It is surmised by science today, that usually where you find liquid water, you will have a high probability of finding life. This is the key feature of our Gaia, the water planet, comprising 70% of the planets surface. / / In Greek mythology, Gaia gave birth to Pontus (the Sea). / Our own bodies are composed just like the earth, as we are about 70% water, and 30% solids. Water is found in all living organisms we know of on Earth. Our oceans also play a key role in the creation and sustainability of our protective atmosphere, pumping massive amounts of oxygen into the air. Water is the life blood of Gaia. / / Land – The Incubator / / Where water meets land becomes an ideal place to spark evolution and create the larger and more complex living organisms that inhabit land, sea, and sky. Warmed by land’s ability to absorb and retain solar energy in the form of heat, water becomes an ideal incubator for beneficial microorganisms. These microorganisms then evolve into more complex cellular life forms. So as in the artwork, where water mixes with minerals of the land, the tree of life roots down to bear it’s many varieties of life. / / In Greek mythology, Gaia gave birth to Ourea (the Mountains). / We can find most of the natural minerals of the earth within the solids content of our own bodies. We are as tied to the land as we are to the water. / / Tree of Life – The Mixer / / Life branches out, and an unlimited number of new life forms are created, with each of them forming their own ‘tree of life’ in the process and starting the cycle anew. This also represents the ‘core’ of the Gaia… an infinitely small point in a singularity where gravity is equalized, magnetism is equalized, and even space is equalized. The point at which energies, gravitational and electromagnetic, instantaneously become exact opposites of their previous energy states, this in turn creating enormous amounts of feedback energy in the process, starting the cycle anew. / / Breath of Life – The Exchanger / / Vegetation exhaling it’s life’s by-products as beneficial gases for the atmosphere, and at the same time, breathing in the by-products of the atmosphere as beneficial compounds to fuel it’s growth. Energy for this entire process is provided courtesy of our local star. This is also the exchange that provides breathable air for most of the animal branch of evolution. / / In Greek mythology, Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the Sky). / All life on Gaia, breathe life from the atmosphere, as much as they do from her water. / / Lung of Life – The Chemical Matrix / / Complex chemical reactions between particles of water, minerals, and gases are fueled by the sun high in the atmosphere creating a transport for water in the form of clouds. The clouds allow water to overcome the problems with gravity that would otherwise imprison it to the seas, and allows water to return back to the higher land, where in turn it nourishes life along the entire course of it’s trip back to the sea. Now the cycle of life on the living planet has come full cycle and is ready to begin another, yet unique, cycle. / / Shield of Life – The Force Field / / Gaia has two forms of shielding that protect life. The first is her electromagnetic gravitational field, that forms a protective envelope around Gaia as she travels through space, deflecting harmful solar radiation by conducting it around herself. The second is the atmosphere itself, being dense enough to incinerate most of the objects that we encounter on our journey before they can reach the surface. The atmosphere also provides the filter that allows a beneficial amount of solar energy to penetrate the atmosphere, while deflecting the greater amount of harmful solar particles and wavelengths of light back out into space. / / All of these components of Gaia are interconnected and dependent on one another. Because of this fact, Gaia, by definition, should be classified as a single living organism. An organism dependent of the health of all its components to guarantee the organisms health as a whole. / / The original artwork is 6000×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The gradient was created in ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. The fractal was created as a transparency and then used as a separate layer in Photoshop. The background gradient was created in Photoshop. / /

Symbolic for fallen friends everywhere, those of war, those friends that have lost their battle with disease or have outlived this life and have gone onto better things on the other side, or those beautiful pet companions that are still in our hearts but are no longer with us physically. This rose is for you, we will never forget what you meant to us. Image taken in Shady Cove, Oregon

Black ink on 220g drawing paper. Digital colour added afterward. This is an Exquisite Corpse project with my dear ink sister Anita. Seeing I didn’t see the point in uploading exactly the same piece, I asked her whether she minded me adding some colour ;-) This is what I initially sent her:
symbolism – information provided by wikipedia:
Symbolism is the applied use of symbols: iconic representations that carry particular conventional meanings. The term "symbolism" is often limited to use in contrast to "representationalism"; defining the general directions of a linear spectrum - where in all symbolic concepts can be viewed in relation, and where changes in context may imply systemic changes to individual and collective definitions of symbols. "Symbolism" may refer to a way of choosing representative symbols in line with abstract rather than literal properties, allowing for the broader interpretation of a carried meaning than more literal concept-representations allow. A religion can be described as a language of concepts related to human spirituality. Symbolism hence is an important aspect of most religions. However, not all use it, but most do at some point in time.RedBubble is a great place to find art, design, photos and writing from over 80,000 talented people.
