Vision Quest is inspired by the Native American meditative practice of venturing into the wilderness to connect deeply with nature, along with influences from Southwestern Native American aesthetics and visionary states of mind. I really wanted to capture the essence of Native American tribal art as a homage to America’s ancient ancestors, but with a visionary twist.
As with all my work, I deeply research the subjects I aim to integrate. During that process, I began to notice an "ancient-future" aesthetic starting to surface—an emerging fusion that felt both timeless and futuristic. This led me to think about kachinas, and their supposed connection to ancient alien myths, which inspired me to introduce subtle technological elements into the piece.
The final result resembles a stargate portal—a bridge between ancient wisdom and cosmic future possibilities.
Vision Quest teaches an important lesson: not to rush the process. By slowing down and allowing the journey to unfold, you become more aware of your surroundings—noticing connections and inspirations you might otherwise miss, like the technological fusion that became a key part of this piece. Vision Quest wouldn't be what it is today without embracing that subtle awareness.

About Me
I started creating psychedelic art in 1998 after my first visionary experience, but it wasn’t until 2007 that I began dialing into a more focused vision—one that has shaped the body of work I create today. I was deeply inspired by the psychedelic styles of artists like Alex Grey, Robert Venosa, Victor Moscoso, Luke Brown, and Xavi Panneton. Their work unlocked something in me, and I’ve been exploring that visual language ever since.
My art blends neon color palettes, intricate mandalas, and layered patterns to tell symbolic, often personal stories. Each piece reflects something deeper—sometimes spiritual, sometimes emotional, but always intentional.
Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to share this work through exhibitions with collectives like Threyda, and alongside artists I’ve long admired—Android Jones, Jake Amason, Glass Crane, and Justin Totemical. My visuals have appeared in installations at Burning Man and psytrance festivals worldwide, and I’ve collaborated with projection artists like Jonathan Singer, known for his work on the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well tour. Some of my pieces have also accompanied live sets by Trip-Hop legend Dave Tipper.
It’s been meaningful to see this work extend beyond festivals—especially through installations at Meow Wolf in Las Vegas and Santa Fe.
One moment that stands out was having my art featured on the cover of Ayahuasca: A Test Pilot’s Handbook by Chris Kilham, which was shown live on CNN. It felt like a rare alignment between art, message, and medicine.
