No Enemies, No Race: One Human Space

Everyone is born with innate peace and seeds of compassion. Many of us just need a guiding light to connect inwardly, learning to cultivate and nurture this inner garden.

This art form is inspired by the indigenous people of my area and their history of the sacred Sun Dance along with ancestral knowledge of Eastern philosophies. I have been exploring how these teachings have blended and evolved across cultures and envision what they might become here to be of greater potential to those who seek and are in need of a sense of salvation today.

Wisdom can and needs to be recycled and repurposed.

Humans have evolved quickly from “fight or flight” to “like or swipe“, there is if nothing else a welcomed surrendering to the atrophy of the brain.
Our ancestors pray to save us from ourselves, our children plead we do.

Art as meditation, prayer, action

Imagining a new form of meditative art is, in a way, like the mandala theme found in Buddhism. Traditionally, mandalas are intricate designs used as spiritual teachings that represent the universe and aid in meditation. In this approach, I weave together simple but profound timeless principles within the expressive powers of abstraction while incorporating and honoring Indigenous synchronicity with nature, spirit, and community found across all cultures. This art form emphasizes the beauty of impermanence and selflessness, encouraging deeper contemplation of how healing oneself leads to the healing of humanity.

“Non-self” does not mean that you, I, or these paintings do not exist. It means that nothing can exist by itself, everything arises interdependently within our interconnected universe. These paintings cannot manifest without you, heaven, and earth all within it, revealed altogether at once.

Non-dualistic expressive art

Leading works of duality and non-duality

Buddhism, Watts called 'the religion of no religion,' is a historical path to master your mind and clear mental weeds, seamlessly pairing with any faith. Buddha isn't a god to worship; he faced suffering like us, found a path through it, and devoted himself to helping others find their liberation
