The inter-penetrating layers of symbolism, mysticism, and narrative in my work constitute a timeless world of
ancient rituals and divinatory rites. In synthesizing techniques of the old masters, ancient mystical teachings,
and contemporary science, my work focuses on the uniqueness and universality of inner landscapes and
transcendent experience.
