All my life I have had visions of beautiful, mystical places. When I'm designing, they feel like they actually exist somewhere in time - often I'll feel a presence guiding me on where to place specific details. It is quite an experience!

It is my hope that my images offer inspiration, a sense of peace, and a feeling of being taken away someplace beautiful far from everyday concerns.

3 DOORWAYS

3 Doorways is representative of the decisions in life, and the esoteric signs offered to us by the Universe.

The viewer stands on the inside looking out. The interior is illuminated; it is golden, warm and safe. But a journey must be taken, and a decision must be made on which path to take.

Esoteric symbols above each doorway symbolize a unique path and destiny. The outside landscape may appear uniform, but the doorway chosen will lead you on a slightly different path, and only looking deep within will the most auspicious choice be revealed.

CRYSTAL CAVES

Etched along the red rock in this secret waterway are crystalline caves...

Peculiar geological qualities make the crystals shine brilliantly like diamonds in the midday sun...

ZODIAC

Zodiac is an astrological clock of sorts; the disc is a mechanical device which rotates with the rising and setting of the constellations.

Twelve pillars stand with crystal spheres perched at the top. Each pillar and sphere energetically connects to its corresponding constellation, charging the crystals with the energy of that astrological sign. The energies are harnessed by the central crystal, which provides the power for the rotating disc.

HALL OF RECORDS

Hall of Records is a huge pyramid containing all the secrets of the Universe since the beginning of time. Access to the enormous structure is only through concourses stretching high above the ground, and access is granted only to the most advanced souls. The setting sun is reflected on the pyramid’s shiny surface.

Some of the esoteric records within the immense walls of the pyramid are written, but most are encoded in crystals. Only the wisest can decode the secret writing, and only they may access the knowledge imprinted within the crystals.

A long line of structures extends directly behind the pyramid, storing even more ancient records. The plaza runs along a vast body of water, adding to the expansiveness of the scene.


WINTER SOLSTICE

Every year at sunset on December 21st - the winter solstice - the sun aligns perfectly with the stones at England’s Stonehenge, setting directly behind the megalithic “trilithon horseshoe” which stands within the outer stone circle

COSMIC ALIGNMENT

Within the Great Pyramid, so-called “air shafts” extend outward from both the King and Queen’s Chambers. However, none pierce the outer walls of the pyramid and so were not used for ventilation.

Though their true purpose remains a mystery, one peculiarity worth noting is that each exactly points to a major constellation and/or star: Orion, Sirius, Ursa Major, and Draco.

SUCCESS

All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. They will tell you no.
And you will tell them yes. - Unknown

MOONLIT SANCTUARY

I’d wanted to create a magical, mystical sanctuary – a beautiful place to enjoy a respite from everyday concerns. The colors green and purple came to mind, conveying peace and mysticism. Also filling my mind was the feel of a warm summer night under a full moon.

As I started designing, I could feel a presence guiding me, as if revealing a place that actually existed somewhere in time.

Since its completion, many have told me this place felt familiar, and they could really feel themselves strolling on the soft grass, drinking the cool water, being caressed by the warm breezes, etc. A shaman even told me he regularly journeyed to Moonlit Sanctuary in his practice.


ORION

While visiting the pyramids in Egypt, I kept seeing in my mind's eye columns of light reaching toward the heavens, and this having something to do with communication with higher dimensions and higher worlds.

Since the layout of the pyramids so closely resembles the stars in Orion's belt, I created this piece to show a connection between the two, almost as if the pyramids are communicating with and harnessing energy of this captivating constellation


ATLANTEAN TEMPLE

Once magnificent, now a memory lost in time...
