Having this constant interaction with nature has had a profound effect on my philosophical outlook. <\/p>\n<p>I view the emergence of consciousness as the universe become self aware that there is a deep and profound interconnection between consciousness and nature. There is a creative energy to the way the sea, the land, the atmosphere, the artist interact, and light, it seems to me that there is the light of nature and the light of consciousness through which we explore the world through a dynamic and creative relationship between our conscious selves and nature. I do not view the light of mind and the light of nature as separate creations but as natural phenomena emerging through the natural evolution of the universe and the laws of nature. So I paint the creative fluid interaction between nature and mind<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div id=\"panel-29-2-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-button panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-flat-5fdd24335b39-29\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"ow-button-base ow-button-align-center\"\n>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"\/index.php\/about\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement- ow-button-hover\" \t>\n\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tLearn more about my art\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-29-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-29-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-slider panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-slider so-widget-sow-slider-default-6d39609536fd-29\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-base\" style=\"display: none\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-slider-images\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-settings=\"{&quot;pagination&quot;:true,&quot;speed&quot;:800,&quot;timeout&quot;:8000,&quot;paused&quot;:true,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:false,&quot;swipe&quot;:true,&quot;nav_always_show_desktop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;nav_always_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;breakpoint&quot;:&quot;780px&quot;,&quot;unmute&quot;:false,&quot;anchor&quot;:null}\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-anchor-id=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t>\t\t<li class=\"sow-slider-image\" style=\"visibility: visible;\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slide-video-oembed\" style=\"opacity: 1\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Finishing a painting. &amp;apos;Renisfjara Black Sand Beach -  \u00cdsland&amp;apos;.
