“Channel of Light”

A journey to Ribbon Falls in the Grand Canyon in December of 2000 inspired this painting. I backpacked nine miles down to the Colorado River and another four miles to reach the lush fern grotto of Ribbon Falls. I watched and absorbed the energy of the waterfall rushing over a rock shaped like a magical toadstool.
I felt inspired to jump onto the toadstool and catch the last rays of the setting sun. My actions were delayed because of the cold December air. I finally experienced the joy of pristine cleansing water rushing over my body.

This painting demonstrates the purified energy freely flowing into the crown chakkra, integrating it into the body and radiating healing light out to others.
Observe the many spirit faces and beings embedded in the rocks. They represent ancient wisdom from departed ancestors of native American tribes. The rock spirits remind us of the earth plane and the Light completes this full connection between Heaven and Earth.
