Mieshiel is a visionary artist who studied at the California Institute of Arts, where he began developing his unique style combining West Coast boldness with East Coast sophistication. He lives in the high desert of Taos, New Mexico, in an off-grid, solar-and wind-powered community, where he creates the vibrant, intricate colored-pencil drawings for which he is known. Inspired by his dreams, visions, and travels, Mieshiel's mystical visionary art contains otherworldly symbols and creatures, hidden images and light codes, and ancient and futuristic sacred sites meant to ignite heightened sates of awareness in the viewer. Executed in an innovative blend of impressionism and surrealism with a shamanic vision, his art serves as a bridge between the "seen" and "unseen" worlds. Mieshiel has participated in many solo and group exhibitions at galleries nationwide. www.mieshiel.com
