" My job is to paint visionary pictures, from my own vision quest as well as from the interpretation of the visions of others. The art I produce is a practical form of magic that provides physical access to the imaginary realm. This book would have formed the basis for my own vision quest had it only been written earlier, but it shines with fascination to minds of all ages. It is a signpost to avenues by which the mind can see into the magical workings of creation in ways beyond the everyday human experience. "
