Bio: Daniel conducts week-long residencies with schools and communities
called Art For the Sky. He works with hundreds of people at a time who each become
individual "paint drops" in giant living paintings of images that only make
sense from the sky. This art form dates back over two thousand years to the
famous Nazca Lines of Peru.
The famous philosopher, Emanuel Kant said that if human evolution is going to
continue man must evolve from homo sapiens into new beings he called, homo
neumana . . . "beings who have learned to see the whole first."
In a nut shell,
that is the core teaching of this art form. Just as these sky art images make
no sense on the ground, so it is with the problems that confront us as
individuals and as a society. Creative solutions live in the big picture view. We
must couple our imaginations with our psychic wings to get above our problems and
harvest the creative energy that resides there. This temporary art also
demonstrates the power of many individuals coming together as ONE to create
something beautiful as well as the importance of embracing impermanence.

Daniel is the author of Shards and Circles: Artistic Adventures in Spirit and
Ecology, a 12 year oddessy of creating healing art in endangered ecosystems

earth-sheltered home in Rowena Wilds, a model eco-development he founded on 200
acres in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
