Since early humans first painted from their mystic eye onto cave walls, artists have sought to share their sacred visions with the world. Created in every medium, from oil painting and sculpture to contemporary digital modeling, these works give those who experience them a chance to “see the unseen,” realize wider modes of perception, and discover spiritual and mystical realms.
As part of our Women issue, Common Ground is proud to showcase Women of Visionary Art, a skillfully compiled new book by David Jay Brown and Rebecca Ann Hill. This gorgeous tome examines the inspiration of 18 leading female visionary artists of which we’ve made a selection that includes Josephine Wall, Allyson Grey, Amanda Sage, Martina Hoffmann, Penny Slinger, and Carolyn Mary Kleefeld, among others.
By exploring the creative process and the roles that dreaming, psychedelic experiences, sexuality, and divine guidance can play, we are provided a non-ordinary peek into the abundant spectrum of female energy—ferocious, healing, and connected.
By accessing the portals of shamanic trance, lucid dreams, and psychedelic states, to name a few, we witness the wondrous interpretation of spiritual connection with Nature, sacred geometry, and a transcendent realm — for which we are oh so grateful.
Special praise to Dave and Rebecca, the extraordinary artists, and the kind publishers at Inner Traditions–Park Street Press for bringing this forward. Please learn more and help support contemporary art. InnerTraditions.com
