This is one of 3 paintings: Tree, Astral Insights and Reaching for Mars

I have been interested in the arts, sciences, and technology for human transformation. The non-physical world and energy also intrigue me and comes through my paintings.

Astronauts tell us that floating within the starlet glory of space effortlessly reveals, humanities in interwoven essence, the profound experience of seeing earth through the window of a starship firsthand, as millions will soon do, can elicit immediate shifts in our values and beliefs. This has the power to inspire a greater respect, perhaps even a love for all living things. An enhanced sensitivity for the well-being of humanity and its environment will reverse long-standing negative habits as we begin to see one another's essence to be connected beneath the trappings of skin, color, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class. Only by expanding our consciousness can we become better at being human.

Building exalted societies on Mars, the Moon, and Earth represents the trajectory of our human future, and the verity of this arc depends on these precious transformational shifts in awareness. Camomile Hixon

On the color palette; the dark blue or Payne’s Grey, represents a cool and calming color that shows creativity and intelligence. It is a color that symbolizes loyalty, strength, wisdom and trust. Gold represents light, both inner light or self and outer light - universal. The white represents peace and being present. All the variations these colors make represent contrast and the balancing act of our thoughts, feelings and emotions.
