Esoteric & Talismanic Art.

Art is Magick! My works and wares are created by painting and collaging in reverse on acrylic sheeting.

Rooted deep in the collective unconscious, these creations combine alchemy, geometry, and other symbolic languages to evince a psycho-spiritual conversation with secret knowledge, making the transcendent transparent, and are an attractive addition to the décor of any home.
