About Awaken Arts

Awaken Arts is based on a Series of Images that originated through my process, a process which Carl Jung identified as, Individuation.  It is influenced by a power or force beyond conscious awareness.   
 

"We can understand the transformation of the personality as a part of the God-created individuating process which Jung has described."  
Christopher Bryant
, Jung and the Christian Way.
 

Individuation is a journey of integrity, a path to awareness and authenticity.  If the path is a series of rabbit holes, Awaken Arts is about leaving Wonderland.

I have found that there are basic intelligences in art --
which become apparent through the creation process.

Poems become shapes, and shapes are amplified through artistic motifs.

Each of the Archetypes in the Poetry Series

On an archetypal journey, paths to Self circle toward Center, moving toward balance and harmony.  
There is a universal pull, a call to growth, and a journey that leads to wellness.
