Art for the sake of consciousness;
Art for the sake of life;
Art for the sake of the Self.

My approach to art has been directly influenced by psychologist, CG Jung, and the spiritual teachers, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. I refer to my paintings as soulscape art as they represent images from the collective unconscious, the realm of soul as understood by all ancient peoples. The purpose of my work is to access and concentrate on deep layers of the psyche, and to render images discovered there into art that is personally and collectively relevant to our times. The intent is to enhance both consciousness and life.

Articles and Essays

These essays represent some of my experiences and thoughts concerning Integral Psychology.

Not only are they connected to my personal life but also to my professional life as a psychologist. My basic orientation is directly influenced by the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother to whom I always turn for inspiration.

C.G. Jung has also been a major source of inspiration for me and, from my experience, with teachings that are not only compatible with those of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother but with an angle that is particularly relevant to Westerners.

The essays essentially reflect my own efforts to assimilate each of their teachings in both my personal and professional life, at my level of understanding and experience.
