I think that that's why artists make art - it is difficult to put into words unless you are a poet. What it takes is being open to the flow of universal creativity. The Zen artists knew this.

Like Love, Art ties together all the great sacred traditions because they all used creative expression, or we wouldn't know about them.

The visionary imagination is the source of art and religion.

My art has always been in response to visions. Rather than confine my subject to representations of the outer worlds, I include portrayals of the multi-dimensional imaginal realms that pull us toward consciousness evolution.

The creative principle is less about dogma and more about opening ourselves to the evolution of consciousness.
