At this evening art opening and event, Jim Berenholtz will give a talk on the iconography and symbolism in his paintings inspired by indigenous cultures and ancient civilizations. Jim specializes in the creation of mandalas and temple art in rich detail, working with the cosmologies of the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, and many Native American cultures. Each of his paintings is like a book, a visual teaching instrument designed to activate our consciousness in specific ways. Jim will also share some of his neo-ancient music that works in conjunction with his paintings.
