We are honored to present Alex & Allyson Grey at this year’s Summer Mystic Garden
Party in Ashland, OR. Alex & Allyson are considered to be among the top visionary artist in the world dedicated to the craft of, as he puts it, becoming a “transparent medium
through which a person is able to reconnect with his or her own deeper nature.”
Alex has studied the human body and spiritual experience at such length, that
he has developed a profound ability to depict the mystical relationship between
consciousness and the body with such detail that it has been known to evoke
a transcednetal experience in the viewer. In Maui, Alex will be giving a talk
about his life experience as well as displaying original artwork and selling
prints. Also for our Sponsors, VIPs and Special Guests only, we have planned
an intimate “Meet and Greet” party with Alex and Allyson Grey the day
before the event, where you will have an opportunity to get a limited edition
autographed print. You can preview Alex Grey’s amazing work at COSM.org.

My work is about encountering the innocence in the human experience that is inherent in all of us. The characters represent the awakened dreamers that see through the ugliness, and right to the heart. With their nearly expressionless faces, they seem to be caught in the moment of epiphany, observing the world with wonder, as if each piece of color glowed with the truth of the universe. (more..)

Scott Okeefe created Berkeley California based art collective Emerald Installations. He and Nature use materials from the natural world and shape them into art that provides a creative bridge into sacred consciousness, a wholistic/symbiotic consciousness where human beings see themselves as parts of each other, re-connecting people with Mother Earth's sacred seed of LOVE...the divine life force energy...that will unify the globe...and allow mankind to FLOWER.

Full Circle Mandalas

Please join me in focusing on the beauty of creation: the unity of diversity, the peace of equality, the joy of understanding, and the love of humanity. Using the trinity of Father, Child and Mother, we begin with the sacred female—the manifest kingdom on earth. The sacred hoop, the womb of creation, the substance of form, She is the Mother. She nurtures the earth and must be nurtured as the earth. Hold her, reclaim her, redeem her through your love. As a mandala gives beauty through balance, unity through synthesis, let its form give healing to the women of the earth.

Manda means essence, la container; so a mandala is form and energy in a sacred circle. Within the circle the four races become the human race, as the four elements become one earth aligned beneath the heavens—inspired as above so below. Through this alignment we find balance within ourselves and within our planet. The fragmented pieces find their perfect place and we are made whole—at-oned, not apart from but a part of the All.

Maricela's artwork offers the experience of a daring and unique combination of social commentary, eroticism, and a celebration of life rooted in nature, evolution and growth. Challenging stereotypes with movement, vibrant colors and the profusion of intricate lines and forms, her message is an emotional and intellectually grounded call
for the embracement of life in all its forms.

She was born in Mexico City, where her work has been shown in several group exhibitions, including three collective shows curated by members of the Mexican Painters Association in the main quarter historical buildings. In The United States she had her first show in May 2008 and has participated in over twelve shows in less than a year in different locations within Northern California and Nevada. At Burning Man in 2008 she participated in the "Pantheogenesis Temple Project" where her work was displayed along with the work of Visionary Artists such as Martina Hoffmann, Roberto Venosa, and Mark Henson.
