Lindy Kehoe
Local artist and illustrator Lindy Kehoe, whose art is featured on our 10th Anniversary poster, embodies the ancestral spirits in her work, which explores divine innocence meeting illuminated consciousness. Her art is published around the globe, and can be found in the We’Moon, and “The Last Wild Witch” written by StarHawk. Weaving archetypes of the World’s mythology with her own magical landscapes, there is a portal that is opened, flowing with the Oracle’s language. Her work is inspired by serendipity, a momentary feeling of interconnected magic, which often feels like a dream. She creates images that bring peaceful energy to the viewer, a place of remembrance, a place of innocence. “May we remember we come from this place, and fully return through the joy in our hearts.”
Martin Ball
Martin Ball is a visionary artist, musician, and author from Ashland, Oregon, who is interested in exploring and expressing the nondual/unitary nature of being through all of his creative endeavors. As a visual artist, he uses fractal flame software to create stunningly beautiful and intricate works that express the underlying unitary fractal nature of reality. Many of his works provocatively capture the complex geometry and fractal imagery that can be directly experienced through visionary and entheogenic states of consciousness. His aim is to inspire wonder, appreciation of the symmetrical beauty of nature, and to let art serve as a mirror for who and what we are as unitary energetic beings. Martin’s art can be found online at www.fractalimagination.com

Andrew Annenberg
The guiding principle of my art is beauty. I want my paintings to open the heart, inspire the emotions lift the spirit. I feel that the art path I am on, started around 7 when I apprenticed myself to the Old Masters of great art, and started oil painting at age 14. Visionary, Marine, Portraiture, Allegorical, Magic Realism, Ancient civilizations, and Landscape themes, have continued with great interest, with different categories painted in each new era of my life. I love to oil paint in ‘High Resolution,’ even in the largest scale works, up to 6 x 8 feet. I delight that viewers enjoy being able to examine the painting as closely as they can get, and still find new detail amongst the glazes. Miniatures too have been part of my oeuvre for 50 years. Many have been painted on semiprecious stones in nature.
