This is a 4 panel painting of the mountains of Cachora Peru. Cahora is in the mountains near cusco Peru.This painting is a culmination of about 15 paintings,about 20 sumi ink drawings and 20 sketches. It is my attempt to show in a semi abstract manner the power of this place, the spiritual presence of the mountains and my connection to them. The Chinese speak of their mountains as 'mountains and water' and here you can see in this painting the same image of the earth/mountain--water. The sketches I made and the photographs I took while there on a shamanic retreat served as the basis for the paintings that I have been inspired to do for the past 2 years. My experiences during ceremony brought me closer into communion with the surrounding landscape and mountains.
