“Windows to the Mind’s Eye”
Mary Leonard
The ability to mentally comprehend erratic patterns in the mind’s eye is a critical path to finding self. Parts, patterns, rhythms and rhymes in each of us make up the whole self. From Pluto’s time to the present we as a collective have been exploring the expansion of our self-awareness to visualize our destiny, confirming our identity. In other words, we explore some different aspects of self through these paintings.
These are a few of Mary’s works from her “Windows to the Mind’s Eye” collection. The metamorphosis of who we are as an individual and a species are reflected in each painting to stimulate your revelations. Each painting is meant to encourage meditation and reflection to find new revelations of self. We are like facets in a kaleidoscope. Each turn of life brings another facet to experience. Our understanding of each facet brings us closer to our purpose.
I hope you enjoy the experience close up and from a distance. The variety of perspectives provides a wider vision for exploring you. Perhaps try writing down any revelation and meditate on it during the day. Then write journal your results before bed.
Feel free to email me your comments or reflections of the painting you explored.
