Visionary Art
Alex Grey

Alex Grey is best known for his paintings which “X-ray” multiple dimensions of reality, interweaving physical and biological anatomy with psychic and spiritual energies. Grey’s visual meditation on the nature of life and consciousness, the subject of his art, is contained in three books. His two monographs, Sacred Mirrors and Transfigurations, follow the history of Grey's artistic life. The Mission of Art reflects on art as a spiritual practice. Grey’s world renowned career includes exhibitions and keynote addresses from Basel, to Tokyo, to Sao Paulo, and features on the Discovery Channel, in Newsweek and Time Magazine. Grey’s art has been used on albums for the multi-platiinum bands Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Tool, and String Cheese Incident. Grey's most outstanding and widely appreciated works of transformative art can been seen in New York City at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, a long term exhibition in New York City. www.alexgrey.com

“Grey’s vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art.” New York Times

Images of Inspiration, Imagination and Light
Tracy Kelly

"I am constantly inspired, guided and taught by Mother Nature to slow
down, to see with new eyes, and to open my heart to the beauty, wonder,
and serenity that surround me. This has connected me, not only to my own
spirit, but to the spirit of Life as well. With each photo that I take,
my goal is to capture one moment in time that reflects an energy, a
feeling or a spirit that inspires, heals and brings a sense of magic.
From my heart to yours... " www.tracykellyphotography.com.

Healing Art

Being a practicing physician, Nancy Tilson-Mallet experiences the full spectrum of human emotion through her patients. She finds the pathology of diseases both intellectually and visually inspiring.

The discovery of silk as a new medium gave her the ideal vehicle through which to express herself. Her work has been displayed in a number of medical centers, churches, and government buildings, in addition to features in professional journals and newspapers. Nancy also lectures on healing and the visual arts. She lives in the Kansas City area with her husband Grant.  www.artbyntm.com

Prints, Mixed Media
David Jansheski

My work addresses the broad themes of Beauty, Mystery and Spirit. Working from an intuitive place I allow my visual experience to guide me, while paying attention to what I am naturally drawn to. Over time I have trained my perception to see my surroundings through the framework of these themes.

My search for, and creation of Beauty is an ongoing activity. It frames what I see. I have always been naturally curious, and this curiosity has become a foundation to a way of seeing. I am intrigued by the visually sensuous: a certain color or texture, bold or subtle yet fascinating and engaging. www.jansheskiarts.com

Folk Art
Jack Beverland/Mr. B

An Idaho native who moved to Florida as a young boy, Mr. B is a self-taught Southern folk artist who has a distinct style. In 1987 a car accident left him with head injuries, resulting in Uncinate Seizures and Spinal Bifida. At his brother's suggestion, Mr. B started to paint, and his emotional life translated itself through paint. Each of Mr. B's paintings begins with a word or phrase like "Corporate Hog Boss," "Abandon," or "The Difference a Man Makes." His current work focuses on bucolic scenes of southern rural life, fantastic utopian animal scenes, and biblical scenes like Noah's Ark and the Garden of Eden.

Jack Beverland said he never planned out his art career -- it just happened. For four years he has been invited to exhibit his paintings at the Kentucky Festival of the Arts in Alabama and for three years he has been invited to the Riverfest Art Festival in Georgia. But it is his exhibit at the OK Harris Gallery in the SoHo district of New York City - a contemporary gallery - that is perhaps the biggest surprise. His work is for sale through his web site: mr-b-folkartist.com.
