“My life has been devoted to the Fine Arts as well as the Healing Arts, and the integration of the two. I have been oil painting for fifteen years and my art has been exhibited in galleries and other venues in the U.S. and Europe. I am co-founder of the collaborative arts collective, Dreaming Co:nexus and the cultural arts organization, Art Spirit Now. My aim is to create art that reflects a healed perspective and inspires conscious evolution in the individual, while furthering the emergent global Visionary Art Movement.”
“The following beliefs are foundational to my work:
~That the highest function of a Human is to love without condition, to express reverence for Earth and the Living Universe.
~That the highest function of Art is to illuminate the transcendental nature of all beings––our capacity to share an awakened consciousness, an evolved and harmoniously integrated existence with all life.
“It is my intention to create works of art that speak to that deeply emotional place at the heart of each person; wherein lies the highest unexpressed potential of a fully realized individual. I hope to inspire others to examine their lives more deeply, to open their minds to infinite possibility and their hearts to limitless love.
“When the heart is open, one can deeply empathize with the emotions and experiences of other beings. In this state of shared experience, one is no longer capable of causing harm, and even becomes driven to eliminate the suffering of other life forms, out of a great love and merciful compassion. One becomes, in essence, a Bodhisattva (enlightened being). The illusion of separation is dissolved, and the quantum reality of the interconnectedness of all matter and energy is realized.
“When I create, I maintain the awareness that each brushstroke, each layer of paint contains encoded information of a specific energetic state- my intention and state of being transmitted directly through the portal of the painting, to the receiver. Therefore, I find it necessary to meditate upon the highest possible outcome- nothing less than the complete transformation of our entire species for the benefit of all life and the achievement of absolute peace. I often use breath and sound (mantra) to influence the vibration of my creation, but ultimately, it is the creating as an act of devotion that renders the painting capable of transmitting a healing energy to the viewer.”

David Heskin
David Heskin
David Heskin is an oil painter who looks to the beauty of the natural world for inspiration, in its infinitely subtle and intricate patterns. Forms in nature become a language in the geometry of consciousness at every scale. It is from this diversity of phenomenal lifeforms that Art emerges.
To employ traditional terms, David is self taught, though his ongoing education consists of a lifelong dedication to the intricate study of nature’s delicately balanced systems.
An emerging master painter, his artistic focus is to elegantly fuse the richness of traditional symbolic themes with the innovative spirit of a modern renaissance man.
David’s life is in service to drawing forth new visions which invite a wide audience to bask in the inspirational light of creativity.
David’s paintings are inventive in their forms as he has taken his art far beyond the limitations of the status quo, into an altogether unprecedented realm. By devising special techniques which allow his canvases to be constructed in nearly any shape, the form of the canvas itself becomes suited to adequately fulfill the depth of his visions.
In joyous exploration of creative freedom, elegant forms, curves and impossible angles emerge in his 2- and 3-dimensional paintings. This versatility spans genre and medium alike, allowing the artist full access to the brilliant splendor of unlimited creation. Synthesizing with visionary artistry, imaginal and photorealistic subject matter is a triumphant aspiration to create artifacts and visual experiences which are otherwise unavailable to the human eye.
Recognizing the necessity and readiness in modern times for a conscious rebirthing of culture, in 2009 David founded Art Spirit Now, an arts organization with the exhilarating declaration, “The Renaissance is Now”.
David Heskin, his art and writing have appeared in numerous publications:
Book Cover Artwork for The First Manifesto of Visionary Art by Laurence Caruana/Recluse Publishing

Amanda Sage
Amanda Sage is at the forefront of a new breed of visionary artists using art as a tool for personal, spiritual and planetary growth and transformation.
Amanda was born April 19, 1978 in Denver, Colorado. Starting in 1996, her travels and projects bounced her between Bali, Indonesia and Vienna, Austria. She studied traditional painting and etching for one and a half years with Michael Fuchs, and has been a painting assistant to Ernst Fuchs since 1999. Amanda has been blessed with a beautiful studio in the WUK since 2000, a self-governed culture house in Vienna, as well as being involved in creating new systems of group-interaction and presentation. In 2008 she began spending more time in the US and when she’s not traveling for projects & exhibitions she spends most of her time in Los Angeles, in her studio located in downtown above the HIVE Gallery & Studio’s and the new Temple of Visions Gallery & Sacred Space. Her work has been exhibited and featured in Galleries and various projects/events worldwide since 2001.
‘Through my work I aim to shatter the ‘illusion of separation’, to challenge the viewer to question, and evolve out of ignorance, conditioning and ingrained genetic habits. In life I strive to take responsibility for the effect of my existence, and through my actions and images, inspire others to think/dream beyond their immediate capacity. Ultimately I seek to create portals that open to the infinite possibilities of being and expressing, so that we may remember and re-discover who we are, where we originate from and where we are headed. My aspiration is to paint messages, visions and narratives that communicate with an ‘older & wiser us’, awakening ancient memory; as well as the ‘present us’, that we may grow up and accept the responsibilities towards ourselves, each other and the rest of existence on this planet… now.

Kati Astraeir
Art by Kati Astraeir
"My art it is my path, the journey to my primordial spirit. Uncovering layers of consciousness, I dive within, in perfect trust and surrender, into the unknown. Flowing intuitively, with the guidance of sound, I explore my essence, discovering who I truly am. It is the language of my soul and one of the greatest tools for healing, transformation, and creation of reality."
Kati was born and raised in Poland. Exploring art at an early age to escape a painful childhood, Kati has worked with many art-forms including paint, photography and music.
She describes herself as "a student of the natural, of the Universal laws and of the Archtypes." In her work she draws greatly from life force energy, Mother Gaia and the Ancestors.
Dreaming herself into reality, she imagined herself living in a Temple and having music at her disposal at all times. Shortly after, she met her partner, Steven Eye of Solar Culture, a great sculptor and community leader in Tucson, Arizona, and shortly after moved to Tucson. Kati is a beautiful example of how walking through the most difficult experiences can become your greatest gifts. Today she paints and creates art in Tucson, Arizona at her home, Solar Culture.
Kati joins us at The Temple of Eden displaying her latest creations and painting "live!" For more information about Kati, visit http://katiastraeir.com

Aaron McKusick
Visionary art seeks to reveal the spiritual imagination, and unlock the soul’s splendor.
I have been drawing and painting from my imagination since childhood. To me there is no purpose in creating art unless it is acting as a channel, a gate way, a threshold toward the direct experience of the sacred. My studies in western occult sciences confirms, affirms, and informs the power of images to unlock certain visionary centers of the mind; aspects of psyche once unlocked open oneself to greater dimensions of subjective experiential realities…the world becomes mystical, reenchanted by being made sacred again and whole in ones being. Art and the creative process are meant to function and facilitate such experiences within the artist and the community.
I have recently relocated to Tucson from Maine, where I finished working on a Masters Degree on the confluences between the visionary experience and new (or old) ecological paradigms emerging. I am interested in collaborating and advancing the arts and culture here at Solar Culture, and now our hopes and promises with The Temple of Eden.

Visionary Photography by Sean Stuchen
Sean Stuchen
Hailing from the beautiful state of Arizona, Sean first picked up a camera at the age of 15 and displayed a natural instinct for capturing the true essence of everything he photographed. Today Sean is still creating magic. He has the innate ability to reveal the core of what he observes through the lens. He captures life from all angles, shooting nature, landscape, people and places. His style is simple yet unique. He has an incredible feel for composition and color while capturing the heart and soul of his subject matter. Sean pushes the envelope, shooting subjects from unique angles that offer a view into another dimension of their genuine essence. For more information, please visit http://www.seanstuchen.com

Amoraea Dreamseed
I use art as a medium to translate the 'Higher Light Programs' into visually encoded images that evoke memories of our Spiritual Heritage. The Quest for the Soul hidden behind all incarnations, the spark of Intelligent Light behind each molecule of matter, the Eternal Essence behind every culture and time period – these are the themes that are universal and speak to any heart upon their path to Awakening. We are being called to live Life as High Ceremony, to discover the Sacred Covenant between our souls and Source Creator, to rise to our masterful status as Lightkeepers, Priestesses, Wizards, and Servants of the Life Divine.
Throughout all paintings you will find the nature of Co-Creation inherent, as this is the Theme of Life ~ sacred relationship, collective stewardship, active partisipation with Source. These 'Ensouled' images are intended for interactive holographic engagement with you own Higher Self. Each painting may be received as a living altar or sacred gateway, and indeed make for powerful images to place at your altar or space of meditation for recurring memory of your perfect Ascended Nature. Like music, visual information is a universal language that awakens ancient future memories of our very purpose and existence.

Ka ~ Kathryn June
In the vast expansive landscapes of west Texas, Kathryn “Ka” June embarked upon her artistic journey discovering an avid interest in creative expression through various forms. After her schooling, she pursued the healing arts and worked as an energetic and massage therapist for 10 years. During this period of recognizing her gift in healing, she followed her passion to help others by learning to express beauty through visual and visceral means. Ka’s awakening led to the development of her innate talent for creating with nature’s gifts. Over many years she has honed the craft of merging animal medicines and earthen treasures into ceremonial tools, sacred costume and adornment. Wielding the brush and palette, Ka began to delve deep into her heart to channel powerful visions touching upon the hidden mysteries of life and love. Meanwhile, she developed her expressive talents in the performance arts. Ka has danced and offered her art at events and galleries internationally for the past seven years.
Kathryn June weaves her art through the multidimensional web with continuous threads of beauty and precision. As she paints visions of divine love, transformation, healing and rebirth, she also embodies these energies through dance and ceremony, bridging her prayers throughout the planes of existence and revealing universal interconnection. Dancing the angelic feathered rainbow serpent, Ka opens a portal of healing energy as an offering to every heart to receive and embrace the medicine of unconditional love. Her vision is to create a Divine reflection that gazes back into humanity, illuminating the beauty within the beholder, reminding us all of our innate ability to heal ourselves, heal each other, and heal our world.

Elisa Rose Mountain
As a visionary artist, I aspire to show what lies beyond our common everyday experiences and reveal a multidimensional world to help awaken the visual audience. I hope to communicate a clear image of peace and a connection with the divine. I draw my inspiration from music, spirituality, people, my roots and heritage, travel, my natural surroundings, the beauty of the human form, the many facets of being a woman, and the movement the world is taking toward interconnectedness. I like to weave threads from my own ancestry with those of others, where cultures collaborate. This is the duty of our time, to find a connection. We all share similar visions, this can be seen in ancient symbols throughout the world. No one owns them, we share them, it is the collective mind we are all part of.
I love to portray a sacred and magical place for people to experience. My imagery comes from dreaming, healing and psychedelic themes. Through a meditative state, the images reveal themselves from the depth of my spirit, and I allow the art to create itself. It is an intuitive process. These images arise through my quest for a deeper knowledge of life and life’s possibilities. You will find feminine symbols and sacred geometry throughout my work representing the creative spirit of the world.
I am currently working in the old master’s Mische Technique, a slow and complex painting technique that gives amazing effects of depth, transparency and a smoothness of colors and contours. I received a B.A. in studio art from the
College of Santa Fe and continue to study different painting techniques. I have taken seminars with Amanda Sage, Laurence Caruana, Andrew Gonzalez, Martina Hoffmann, and Robert Venosa. As a life long learner, I continue to seek
enlightening experience and new tools to help me bring vision to form. Art is my medicine, I offer it to heal and inspire others to awaken consciousness and live life to the fullest.
