The second painting in my Inner Space series, “Hemispheric Phenomena” is a snapshot of the second stage I pass through during meditation – the light show.
First I see amethyst purple lights shimmering, moving, and getting brighter, then other colors enter the scene. They have a different quality of movement than the purple lights, darting, expanding, moving quickly in and out of view.
I used to get very enamored with the light show, but now I stay focused on relaxing my mind and body, and getting to my ultimate destination, a seat of neutrality that is beyond thought and emotion.
Since learning more about Kundalini energy and its purpose to release tension in the nervous system, I think these light shows are probably subluxations or pent up energy being released and interpreted as color. Like the brain doing a little stretching before it relaxes.

Intro
Aloha, I’m Aubrey, an artist exploring the wild west of consciousness and California, capturing the beauty I find in oil paintings.
I grew up in San Diego but I’m a wanderer so I’ve also lived in Boston, Paris, Salt Lake City, Denver, South Lake Tahoe, Lunenburg, Somerset, Colfax, the Big Island of Hawaii, and Nevada City, leaving pieces of my soul in each place.
I’m still traveling, collecting memories and soaking up all the living color I can find. I paint from life and from memory – not what others may see, but what I feel.
My Process
I use natural earth pigments and walnut oil to mix my own oil paints by hand, like the Old Masters did. It’s a time-consuming process but I enjoy knowing all the ingredients in my paint are biodegradable and not too far away from nature.
Some of my paintings are alla prima and completed in a single session. Others have two or three or more layers, each one dried and sometimes sanded before another is applied. The texture of these pieces is as unique as the finished composition.
Each painting is one-of-a-kind, imbued with my take on beauty and meant to be a transportive experience for the viewer.
Benediction
“Assert your right to be a chosen one.”
