Journeys #5
(Acrylic, 6"x9")
Zahra AlMufti Return to Art Index
My painting is a visual journey in space and time - an exploration of insights that flow from my dreams. I dream of artists (e.g., Klee and Matisse) and spiritual teachers who guide and explain the various artistic and spiritual levels of my life and art. These "guides" explain the spiritual dimensions of color and how they are connected to numbers and psychic energy centers within the body, thus connecting the wisdom of the Tibetan with the Sufi through colors and numbers.

Yellow Dream #5
(oil, acrylic, gold leaf, 90"x70")
Agathe Bennich Return to Art Index
After living in Wales for three and one half months, I discovered a natural landscape that nurtured my spirit with its intense presence. I felt immensely affected by the spirit of this landscape, so much that it drove me to create joyful paintings of celebration. As my inspiration, Wales is a landscape of drama, green intensity, history, timelessness, and grandness that contributes to my understanding of the subtleties of life and death.
Icon
(oil pastel, 31"x37")
Nancy Brzeski Return to Art Index
My interest in dream-inspired art developed in Northern California during the late 1950s. My multimedia artwork includes masks, collages, paintings, sculptures, and models. I developed my "dream art" under the guidance of Fariba Bogzaran, Tio Giambruni, Wayne Thiebaud, Ralph Johnson, Cornelia Schulz, Squeek Carnwath, Robert Arneson, Tony Natsoulas, and many others. My "dreamwork" has been guided by Jeremy Taylor, Gayle Delaney, and Loma Flowers.
Dream Vessels #27:
Dark Vision
(collage print, 11"x17")
Marsha Connell Return to Art Index
I am primarily a painter, but I also work in other media such as sculpture, performance, and collage/prints. The collage/prints have opened up important avenues in my artwork and life. These particular pieces have been a source of healing for me, because they embrace stories (i.e., both personal and global) about myself, my children, my parents and grandparents, and especially the women potters of Jatumpamba, Ecuador.

Pursued Child
(charcoal/pastel, 23"x18")
Thomas J. Dragavon Return to Art Index
Visions from my unconscious surface principally through my dreams and other imaginations. I use my visions to create my artwork, using either dry pastel or charcoal. I consider my objective and nonobjective work to originate from my unconscious, so I view them as being similar. In my nonobjective work, I try to recreate colors that I view when waking or otherwise experience as "dream stuff".
Petal
(mixed media, 30"x40")
Donna Fenstermaker Return to Art Index
For several years I have been recording my dreams. My work represents an integration of my art and my dreams. I write down my dream stories and then make small drawings or small books based on my dreams. I have used a variety of personal symbols in my dream paintings. I used mixed media including pastels, oils, acrylics, oil sticks, charcoal, and collage. My collage pieces express personal meaning for health, change, and continuity.

Tunnel
of Love
(watercolor/ink, 16.75"x20.75" outer edge)
Pamela Fingado Return to Art Index
From 1994 to 1995, I experienced a series of dreams that were so intense and vivid that I felt compelled to recreate them on paper. My drawings started as spontaneous "stream of consciousness" doodles and evolved from black and white drawings into finished works of art. I captured the dream quality in my art by using several unrelated perspectives and by combining these with repeating wavy lines to form a pattern . . . this technique conveys the tunnel-like feeling that I experience visually when I dream.
