This summer I decided to take lighting matters into my own hands and embarked on a bumpy journey into the alien world of computer technology and threw myself wholeheartedly into learning the art of programming the lights that illuminate these paintings. It took a while for me to find anything vaguely intuitive that I could get my heart around....I went from analogue mixing desks sent from Germany to ridiculously over complicated and uninspiring software programmes (surely) designed by everyday geeks.  Eventually I found the perfect program to suit my intuitive needs ~ it was visually appealing and it was REALLY satisfying to stretch my left brain muscles a little.  I came up with a much better system than before, whereby each painting has 10 different light shows, hence catering for a variety of moods and speeds. Most finish with what I call a party program which is quite upbeat and mind bending. The slower programmes are really healing and having spent many an hour with these paintings, I realise how instant the effects from the colour waves are on the mind, body and soul. I quite often found myself in a trance~like state where no thought could bust through.....which could take quite a while to achieve through meditation but with these paintings it is almost instant. The research of using light with colour for healing is still a relatively unexplored area although it has been a crucial healing ingredient of ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks and the Romans. I would love to reach large numbers of people with these paintings as they clearly do what they were intended to do, which is soothe the soul and raise the vibration.

Vision of The Future

"Vision of The Future"  153 x 183 cm oil on canvas, 2014

The landscape in this painting was very familiar to me and then I realised where I'd seen it before. This summer I'd gone to a talk in London by Dolores Canon.  She is an American hypnotherapist who started working with people who've experienced being abducted but couldn't remember anything. She is full of fascinating information and has learned that people have had experiences with ET's  from childhood and that often multi~generational relationships exist between Earth family lineages & ET races. The truth is there is a wealth of life out there in the Universe existing in all shapes, forms and sizes.
During the talk she put us under a light trance and asked us to write our future lives 200 years from now. The landscape in the painting was the planet I found myself on.  I did not have form and I felt really free and happy. I could imagine myself into form if I wanted to. It was a very playful planet and there were all sorts of beings there. The vibration was very high and I found myself bouncing around and jumping onto large Tibetan style singing bowls. If I jumped onto the ground it would flash and a tone seemed to emanate from under the earth. I didn't need food. There were sacred geometric shapes which were inter~dimensional healing portals. Perhaps I am existing right now on this planet in a parallel Universe, 200 years in the future...who knows. The large object above the landscape could well be a ship, I'm not sure...or maybe another planet.
The main stream media has manipulated humanity's perspective on other beings ~ few people are able to approach this area with an objective, unbiased stance. I suppose it is understandable that many people are not ready to hear the truth about one of the biggest cover ups in the history of planet Earth as this subject is infused with fear, ridicule or complete denial. I however, believe our galactic brothers and sisters are very close to making themselves known to us.

Not Two

"Not Two" 153 x 183 cm oil on canvas, 2013

Not Two, not one but the positionless position. Really we are dwelling in the one absolute reality and we are that. I can say that this painting was completed during a time of an apparent unveiling of the illusion of separation. I was pointed to this truth rather effortlessly one day in my studio, through some self-inquiry. It became very clear that every object (including my body) had always appeared with "me" at the same time in the same perceived space. Therefore the body/mind is not and has never been the subject of my experience, it is an object that appears and disappears like all the others. All phenomena arise with the light of pure knowing, call this Presence, God, the Source, Consciousness, it doesn't really matter as it's wholly indescribable. That pure Presence is omnipresent and everything is appearing within "that", is permeated by "that" as one boundless, seamless happening. On apparently "seeing" this, there was just a sense of "knowing" on a deep level and then a kind of relaxation. A visit to the local park, sure enough...one thing happening, no separation....no worries just another day. Life is so mysterious.  Pondering the Zen saying..."Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water, after enlightenment, chop wood carry water", there is no big firework display just a recognition that life simply carries on.

That Which You Seek Never Left You

"That Which You Seek Never Left You" 153 x 183 cm, oil on canvas 2013

Hummingbird (detail)

That Which You Seek Never Left You....
This painting  has a feeling of being seen from above. The part of you which is doing the "seeing" is also the "seer" and the "seen" therefore there is no separation. The seen and the seer only come when there is seeing ~ they are merely attributes of seeing. When we as the seeker are searching for something outside of ourselves, for example ~ an amazing experience of enlightenment or something that will give us the answers, (to the great mystery of life) that which we seek, we miss.  The unchanging, ever present non~conceptual awareness is us and everything, simply waiting to be realised. We have been looking for it everywhere but it was right here from the very beginning. This is the nature of our true identity. Hence the title....that which you seek never left you. By dropping the self~identity and the belief that we are separate beings, that which is revealed is boundless consciousness (just a word which doesn't really sum up the vastness it's trying to describe).  Ever present, nowhere to go, nothing to do, pure "being". Once we realise the simplicity of this, all seeking will stop because the very thing we seek  has been here all along, albeit forgotten and so obvious that it has been completely overlooked.
The magical hummingbird represents the nectar within...the sweetness that is within each and every one of us. The tiniest of birds, they have a very important job to do, collecting nectar and pollinating the flowers of the planet thereby spreading beauty, love, joy and colour into our lives. It is the only creature which can stop dead whilst travelling at full speed; can hover, fly backwards and forwards, up and down ~ they represent infinity. They vibrate inner joy, and a wonderful and creative free-spirited aspect of life. I was informed recently in a workshop run by the maestro of lucid dreaming ~Robert Waggoner (the author of "Lucid Dreaming~Gateway to the Inner Self") that the hummingbird was a symbol of lucid dreaming in the Meztica/Toltec tradition and helpers for lucid dreaming... I'm really happy the hummingbird flew into this painting.
The water element appeared again! The mighty wave pulsating with life-force, is representing the sub-conscious coming into our conscious awareness. Nothing to fear, nowhere to hide, "be" the waves as they will simply appear and disappear, and what remains will always be with us. Everything is simply happening and everything that manifests is absolutely neutral.
The islands again seemingly separate, forge together to create the whole. The mountains in the background are soft yet very present. The clouds meander across the painting, both revealing and hiding, highlighting the paradoxes of our existence.
Finally, the shafts of light. These represent the coming of new energies to planet Earth. The raising of the vibrations. The shift in consciousness. The recognition that we are multi~dimensional cosmic beings. Again, it is only the seer doing the seeing of the seen. If we really look we will see this new energy coming to Earth, but it's always been there...it is simply being revealed to us as we continue our journey of transformation.
