Isaac Mills is a digital painter and designer from the east coast of Canada. He chose the moniker “Mugwort’ to embody his intention as an artist. Mugwort artemisia is a sacred tool used by ancients for lucid dreaming and astral projection, and much of his art blossoms from scattered sensory recollections of his own dreams. He seeks to strengthen the flow between the gateway of the dreaming and waking worlds, to open imaginal portals for the viewers and to guide them to an internal temple of inspiration and awakening. Much of his work is thematically centred around a paradigm shift that he sees happening around him in the world, and portrays archetypal forces, ancestral depths, evolution and shamanic symbolism. Visually synthesizing windows into both the bygone industrial era and a multitude of potential future realities, he anticipates the brink of time. His art has been displayed at galleries and festivals in Canada, the US and Europe.

Morgan Mandala is a Visionary Artist and Performance Painter based near Boulder, Colorado. Her vibrant paintings are known to evoke spiritual, emotional, and physical responses. Saturated colors, sacred geometry, meditations, and visions manifest themselves in magical forms through geometric mandalas and sacred surreal landscapes. Influenced also by color vibrational healing, Morgan Mandala’s paintings are created with the intent of inspiring beneficial reactions within a viewer; to awaken love, vision, healing, and recognition of The Unity of all multiplicities.

“My art is a visual metaphor of our Infinite Interconnectedness; a glimpse of a timeless space where the veils of separation are lifted, simultaneously exposing all levels of reality as ONE network of BEING. Mandalas are graphic symbols representing the universe in it’s entirety – the interlacing of the macro- and microcosm – a reflection of each viewer, and a reflection of us all together. I am a translator of the language of spirits into color; transmuter of energy into form; transformer of material objects into spiritual reflections. To my highest ability, I paint as a tool serving the Divine, delivering visually comprehendible messages to our Earthly realm, and inspiring individuals to recognize the divine within themselves.” ~ Morgan Mandala

Reflecting his training as a scientific illustrator, Michael’s live art is a field guide to the beings that emerge through live music – the boundary-living electric winged spirits that crash into being through a dancing throng, and to be seismograph and portraitist, swaying to their breath. Each work emerges from the throb of the house and crowd into cross-sections of fireworks and undersea faeries, closed-eye tessellations and luminous fossils…vivid scenes of unabashed intensity, verdant and exultant work written in the language of dreams.

Since November of 2007, Michael Garfield has set up easels in a legendary range of situations, from raging basement clubs to NASA’s Ames Research Center at Moffett Airfield to New Year’s raves in the Costa Rican rainforest – both onstage and off, and alongside internationally renowned visionary artists Alex & Allyson Grey, Robert Venosa, Martina Hoffmann, Mark Henson, Android Jones, Amanda Sage, Oliver Vernon, Mars-1, Kris D, and J Garcia. In addition to countless festival appearances, including Sonic Bloom, Rootwire, Desert Rocks, Art Outside, Rothbury, Trinumeral, Wakarusa, Electric Forest, Bear Creek, Motion Notion, Gem & Jam, Global Sound Conference, and Geoparadise…and he has held live art residencies for the Trilogy Lounge in Boulder (2008), the Mondrian Hotel’s Pere La Chaise Lounge in Scottsdale (2009), and ActionPacker Pro Productions in New Orleans (2010). Michael also acts as de facto journalist and organizer for a growing live art community, leading festival live art teams and gathering an ongoing interview series, The Field Guide To Live Artists.

Michael is at the forefront of a resurgent creative wave that draws it’s inspiration not just from art theory and intellectual ideas but also from the basic principles of what it is to lead a healthy and vibrant life. His spirited and vivacious artwork falls in step with a long tradition of artists who base their work on their interpretive visions. His paintings – with their imaginative wonder and deeper spiritual underpinnings – reference ancient traditions, modern artistic explorations, and contemporary themes.

Michael’s artwork follows in the footsteps of the Symbolist movement of the late 1800′s as it progressed through the Modern Art movements of the early 1900′s. His work is as much inspired by Futurism, Impressionism, and Abstract Artists as it is by the Surrealists and the Fantastic Realists. From Wassily Kandinsky’s intuitive balance of line and color to the bold movements of Umberto Boccioni to the psychologically deductive landscapes of Salvador Dali, the elements of the past inform Michael’s art and provide a groundwork to build upon. Hs is inspired by the teachings of the many great artists of the past and his work helps to continue a living artistic lineage and narrative and adds a very present spiritual component to this artistic vision.

A painter and sculptress. Her paintings offer the viewer a detailed glimpse into her inner landscapes – imagery that has been inspired by expanded states of consciousness: the realms of the imagination, meditation, shamanic journeys and the dream state.

“The visionary artist makes visible the more subtle and intuitive states ofour existence and creates maps and symbols reflecting consciousness.My work is an attempt to show spirit as the universal force which unifies us beyond the confines of cultural and religious differences. By accepting the interdependency of all life and our universal interconnectedness we have a chance to heal and transform the planet’s general state of woundedness.In using art as a tool for transformation, we have the opportunity to createa reality as beautiful, healthy and strong as our imagination permits.”

Martina Hoffmann, has exhibited her work and spoken on behalf of visionaryart and culture internationally. Together with her husband the AmericanFantastic Realist, Robert Venosa, she teaches visionary painting workshops.

Luke Brown’s visionary art is an open portal into the higher-dimensions of our being. Riding on the wings of the creative imagination, Luke is being dreamed up as a medium, oracle and amplifier for a deeper process of awakening that is unfolding in the collective mind-field of our species. In creatively giving such unique and vivid shape and form to his inner experience, which is to say himself, Luke is stepping into the archetypal role of shaman and healer for the community at large, which in this case is the whole human species. In being in-formed by and creatively translating the deeper transpersonal energies that are pulsing through him into a communicable language, Luke taps into forms, vibrations and realizations that exist in the formless, synchronic, archetypal dimension of consciousness itself. This is a dimension existing “outside of time” – which, like hidden treasures of the soul, are waiting to be discovered, formulated and brought forth so as to be rendered into visible form at the right moment “in time.”

BIO

My purpose as an artist is multifaceted, yet clear: to be a prism of vision, an instrument of light, awakening consciousness through artistic insight. To inspire…to express and evoke love…to create windows into both the past and the future from the unfolding Present….

…to bring vision to life and paint portals to the in*phi*net…..
