About the Item
"Plutonium Messenger" Symbolic Visionary Art in Acrylic on Canvas
Detailed symbolic work by Dana Lynn Andersen (American, b. 1962). This piece is a stylized version of the astrological symbol for Pluto. It appears as if the planet has been integrated into the symbol, floating in space. There are other symbols inscribed into the paint. The addition of glitter and iridescent paint creates a mystical shimmer. According to the artist, "The symbol for Pluto is a charged constellation, a conduit for the Plutonium energies of transformation."
Titled and signed on verso: Plutonium Messenger Dana Lynn Andersen
Canvas size: 24"H x 24"W
No frame, but the edges are painted for a frameless display.
Dana Lynn Andersen (American, b. 1962) is a multimedia artist, writer, playwright and teacher who has taught and exhibited on three continents. She received her bachelor’s degree Phi Beta Kappa cum laude in philosophy from Colorado College, and her Master’s Degree in the Study of Consciousness from John F. Kennedy University. Andersen has shown at venues such as the California Institute of Integral Studies and the Institute of Noetic Sciences (where she was artist in residence). Her artwork has been featured on the covers of books and journals internationally.
Andersen’s paintings are vibrant and luminous, scintillating with a sense of permeating intelligence. Often cosmic in scope, sweeping panoramas of color and energy express the granduer of the universe and simultaneously employ its oceanic vastness to convey the mysterious depths of interior realms. Her large- scale paintings (such as “Autumn in the Garden of Eden” spanning 24 feet) are stunning in their power and breadth of vision. Works such as “Emissary” are impregnated with numinous symbols emanating messages from an ancient future.
In the ‘Atomic Frequency’ series, she makes use of reflective metalic surfaces to convey the electric spark of energy in the whirling dervish particle dance of atomic and electronic realms.
- Dana & Gaia with Hindustan TimesIn works such as “The Divine Vision” (commissioned by Swami Kriyananda for the cover of his masterwork ‘The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita’) she brings fresh expression to enduring spiritual truths.
Dana is also the founding director of Awakening Arts Academy with centers near Portland Oregon and Assisi Italy. Acclaimed for her pioneering use of art and creativity as vehicles for shifting consciousness she has offered her unique programs internationally- at schools & universities, conferences, civic centers, and through her Awakening Arts Studios.
In 1986 she founded her first “Transformative Arts Studio” (HeartCore Studio Berkeley, California) – a nexus for the pioneering integration of Art and Spirituality. In subsequent studios (Tree of Life Studio Denver, Colorado) and at Ananda Village (Nevada City, California) she created studio laboratories for awakening higher consciousness through creative process. In 2002 she founded “Awakening Arts”, conjoining artists committed to the creation of art that is inspiring and uplifting. In 2009 she began teaching abroad, establishing The Academy of Art, Creativity & Consciousness near Assisi, Italy in 2010. In 2012 she expanded the Academy to the Ananda Laurelwood campus near Portland, Oregon. She continues to offer workshops and retreats internationally as well as a Certification Program in Transformative Arts through the Academy in both Italy and Oregon.

- SuperbloomLocated in West Hollywood, CA"Superbloom" is made with acrylic, oil pastel, paper, glitter, thread and clay on canvas and paper mache. This bright and vividly colored sculptural painting is a perfect example of the power of unrestrained creativity. INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WORK - What began as an experiment in creating rose petals slowly evolved into this deconstructed "Superbloom". At the center of these petals is a seemingly chaotic arrangement of color and texture. Yet, from slow observation, patterns and repetition emerge. What can be easily grouped into a "whole" is actually a balancing act of orchestrated parts - the same as every living organism we observe. There is a mystery to be savored in every act of living - as well as in viewing the traces of life left behind. "Superbloom" was made in love of the former, and leaves behind the latter. We'll never fully understand all the bits of a rose, or all the brushstrokes of a painting, but we're always welcome to bask in the sunshine that is loving without knowing.
