Keeping on the crest of the 2010 wave, my newest piece has been featured on the February cover of The Monthly Aspectarian. This is the most comprehensive monthly publication for anything spiritual-related in the greater Chicago area. It has been a staple of astrological information, visionary artwork, alternative points of view, and life-changing event schedules ever since 1979. Great artists have been featured on the covers throughout the years, including Robert Venosa, Carey Thompson, Martina Hoffmann, Chris Deschaine, Willow Arlenea, Francene Hart, and countless others. Aside from this, having this piece featured on the Aspectarian has a very special significance for me, as the magazine opened so many doors for me when I first moved to Chicago. It's amazing to know that my art may serve similar purposes for many of its readers.
A Different Veil Lifts?
Surely so. As you can see, this particular version of Veil Lifts is an ode to my dear spiritual
teacher, Dr. Claudia Romero. Having her in the piece creates an amplification that is surely to be enjoyed by anyone who views the magazine. The piece is very similar to the one featuring my self-portrait in some respects; but, at the same time, this one has a great deal more profound symbolisms if you look closely.
The Monthly Aspectarian is distributed freely online (click here to view) and at numerous locations throughout Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Here are all the drop sites in case you want to grab a hard copy.

 This image deals directly with the energetic shifts we are experiencing at different levels: as part of the human race, as inhabitants of Gaia,
and as part of our Solar System in its moment of ascension from three dimensional reality into more accelerated frequencies. The green cubic structures represent both the dissolution
and crystallization of matter-consciousness, and our increasing capacity to see beyond and into the inner worlds.
 The meditator, seated within the tree of life, is emb... Continue reading...

Here is my newest piece, my entry for the Energy Art Movement's Green Energy Project. Making this piece has been an experience in growing and molting, and in letting go of myself and channeling the creative flows into directions previously unexplored. This time I ventured more freely into the world of acrylics and brush strokes, mixing digital and traditional media so the finished piece is 34" x 20", acrylic over Gicleé on Hahnemuhle Torchon. The Giclée was dry mounted and my dear friend Ry... Continue reading...

As I said in my previous post, The Energy Art Movement has launched an initiative to promote Green, Renewable, Clean Energy with the use of Dynamic, Energetic, and Visionary Art. I spent a few weeks thinking about which type of energy to work with, and didn't really come up with anything. Then, during finals week of course, I decided I wanted to work with water. Hydroelectric energy? Tidal power? Marine Current power? Ocean thermal energy conversion? Osmotic Power? Water. Blue. I woke up to ... Continue reading...

As I wrote in the first post of this series (Energy as the Structure and Fabric of the Universe), the evolution of consciousness and its journey through physicality has given us the possibility to develop and awaken different senses and schemas of perception. With these, and along with other processes and aspects of consciousness, we are able to perceive, experience, and consciously interact with different segments of what we call reality.
In subsequent posts we explored some of the ways in... Continue reading...

Engaging in the world as those around us perceive it is how we engage in what the Toltecs call the dream of the planet. In so-called innocence, kids manifest mostly love and little fear. The latter they have to learn or be taught: you can fall down, fire burns, ooh that hurt, some spiders may be poisonous, you have to behave, you have to follow these rules, being of a particular racial group informs your position in the world and your relationships with others, you can’t play in the mud, yo...

Cultural-historical and socio-cultural psychologists have studied the way in which cognition develops; paying close attention to how it is embedded in a given place and time, in biology, and in different sets of social relationships and meanings.
Scholars following a Vygotskian perspective have shown how ‘higher mental functions’ develop through social interaction, by mediating and reinterpreting biological needs in terms of socio-cultural understandings. This example does an awesome job... Continue reading...

The evolution of consciousness and its journey through physicality has given us the possibility to develop and awaken different senses in order to experience this broad spectrum of what we call reality. Our sensory organs come in touch with different segments and specific aspects of the reality we experience. For example, our ears pick up certain frequencies of vibration and we learn what these sounds are about. Our eyes see the light that bounces off our environment and everything in it. The...

IN BRIEF
A mandala is a purposeful visual composition incorporating different symbolic and geometric patterns that can lead to shifts in consciousness, perspectives, and energy flow. I like to describe them as the transcription of inter-dimensional experiences into (more easily) tangible forms. Mandalas can serve as portals through which we can interact with different realms of reality.

Let us begin by distinguishing [words] from (what they refer to), without getting too deep in... Continue reading...
