My art is a synergy of the conscious, subconscious, and spiritual or higher conscious aspects of the mind. Synergizing these aspects produces a whole that is, according to synergistics, not only greater than its parts, but an unexpected end product. I call this product Psycho Synergiac art and its creative process Psycho Synergia.
