Exhibition Announcement: 

This is my recent 24" x 18" oil painting titled "The Visitors". It will be exhibited in the "In Your Dreams" Exhibition at the La Quinta Art Museum December 9, 2025 - February, 28, 2026 in La Quinta, California. Official artist reception is Saturday January 17, 2026 from 5-7 pm.

This painting captures the moment between awe and revelation. The artist (myself) gazes skyward, as a dark, silent disk emerges through the clouds, briefly backlit by celestial light.

It is both a record and a reflection of his waking, lived experiences of lucid dreams, followed by repeated visitations that have continued to unfold since June 2025 and continue to defy explanation..

This painting captures the moment between awe and revelation. The artist (myself) gazes skyward, as a dark, silent disk emerges through the clouds, briefly backlit by celestial light.

It is both a record and a reflection of my waking, lived experiences of lucid dreams, followed by repeated visitations that continued to unfold from June - December 2025 and defied explanation.

These encounters left behind physical and spiritual traces: geometric and organic symbols impressed on my upper chest, arms and torso, subtle light burn shapes on my skin, and various patterns that fade over time as mysteriously as they appear. Yet their purpose remains unknown to me, leaving a haunting sense of connection to forces unseen.

This painting transforms these mysteries into art, balancing realism and the metaphysical.

My dreams often preceded what I describe as real visitations...encounters with beings of interdimensional, extraterrestrial, or angelic nature.

Through this painting, I become both witness and participant..questioning whether these beings are messengers, protectors, or catalysts for inner spiritual awakening. Transforming my deeply personal and mysterious reality into visual form...a meditation on consciousness, connection, and the thin veil between worlds.

I stand not in fear, but in profound wonder, caught between the earthly and the divine, seeking meaning in the luminous night sky and the universe we all are apart of.
