Phoenix Risen

Ello everyone, I'm kickin' back with my coffee and smokes, and ready to get to know you. ;).......... I posted my Vox profile mainly as a way of showing, and getting feedback on, my artwork. I look forward to meeting other people interested in discussing their own artwork, concepts, and interests!.......... I specialize in mixed-media art. I enjoy integrating fine art and graphic art, because the final result is typically unique, beautiful, and modern. I am trained in various art forms including painting, photography, graphic design, installation art, and sculpture. .......... I LOVE my job! ..........I am a Professor of Fine Art, Photography, and Graphic Design........... I am flexible and open-minded; and I LOVE listening to my students’ interests, philosophies, and their life experiences. Through these discussions, I hope to help the student learn to infuse their artwork with the emotional impression that these experiences have left with them........... My interests include various art movements, as well as Japan, the Middle East (Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, Egypt), and various indigenous Native American nations (Aztecs-Mexica, Maya, Inca, Choctaw, Cherokee)........... I have spent over a decade researching these fascinating cultures, their art and spiritual beliefs, which I also use in my own artwork. Due to my knowledge of multiple cultures, I can make the most alien philosophies and cultures seem accessible to anyone........... I have been an active member of one of the many Golden Dawn groups since 1997, studying Hermetics, Meditation, Astral Work, and the Qabalah; and was a member of the Philadelphia O.T.O. prior to 1997........... Also I have been doing Tarot Divination since 1993; Chaos Magic since 1998; Qlippothic/Angelic Invocation and Evocation since 1997; Dream Work, the Qabalah, Chaos Magic Theory, Tarot Readings, Astral work, Meditation, Qlippothic / Angelic Theory (including evocation / invocation and relavant grimore studies), and Voodoo. I'm always open to any spiritual path, ancient cultural belief, or related subjects...Looking forward to meeting you!.......... Phoenix Risen
