Art Opening/Book Signing w/ Paul Heussenstamm

My life as an artist truly began the moment the sperm hit the egg. I now understand that a pattern was struck within the core of my psyche, or soul, at the moment of conception. Of course, it took thirty-seven years and numerous life experiences before the pattern of an artist fully manifested in my conscious awareness.

The universe is a "cosmos" in the original Greek sense, an ordered, purposeful whole. To see beyond the manifest is to grasp the pattern. All of reality has a pattern, and the patterns are ours to understand if we have the courage and insight to open up and look. All we seek - peace, love, health, and happiness, and in sum all that is real - can be ours through this understanding. The chief blessing of my life is that these patterns have become to be expressed through me in the form of the mandala. My life's journey has come clear to me through this ancient symbol, and through it I have been able to show others their paths. This too is a great blessing. In my exploration, the mandala is the doorway into the language of the soul. As you learn this language, you gain access to the eternal wisdom and mystery of the soul. Your life will be altered, expanded, graced, and deepened forever! Blessings and namaste.
