Ruary James Allan
In his art, Ruary James Allan approaches metaphysical realities through myth and visual analogy. The imagery has been influenced by Celtic, eastern, ancient, and modern traditions. Attempting to blend these traditions with his own idiosyncratic vision, he produces art that simultaneously speaks on many levels--personal, social, ecological and spiritual--aiming to make even the most difficult subject matter beautiful. He hopes that his art may serve as a portal, enabling people to deepen their appreciation of the world and themselves. His paintings have been shown at various galleries, juried art fairs, festivals, and events in northern California, Oregon, and Japan, and he has been published in Creation Spirituality Network magazine and Psychic Reader, on flyers for Burning Man parties and in other hip places.
Pablo Amaringo
Pablo Amaringo was born in 1943 in Puerto Libertad, in the Peruvian Amazon region. He was 10 years old when he first took ayahuasca-a visionary brew used in shamanism, made from the plants Banisteriopsis caapi (yagé) and Psychotria viridis (chacruna). A severe heart illness--and the magical treatment of this via ayahuasca--led Pablo toward the life of a shaman, and he eventually became a powerful curandero--learning the icaros, or healing songs that the ayahuasca brew taught him. However, in 1977, Pablo abandoned his vocation as a shaman, and he is now a painter and painting teacher at his Usko-Ayar school, where there is no charge for the students to learn painting from Pablo. Pablo has painted and described numerous ayahuasca visions, some of which have appeared in his book Ayahuasca Visions: The Religious Iconography of a Peruvian Shaman. He is currently working on paintings of angels for a forthcoming book, as well as paintings that document the flora and fauna of Peru. Original art may be available for purchase through this web page, and a gallery of recent paintings is also available for viewing.
