I photographed these image photo-paintings when I visited Santa Barbara in 2008. It was my first time going there. As an artist intuitive, I was impressed by the tremendous amount of esoteric spirit energy there. Santa Barbara, California, from the perspective of the intuitive artist, is a place filled with spiritual energy, spirits and ghosts. I take photographs and am attracted to places that have unusual energies. I usually take thousands of photographs when I visit places. I then pick the ones that I feel and sense have energy of some kind. I then arduously work on them aiming to artistically convey to others what I, as an artist, SEE In other words, these photo-paintings exemplify the energy that I sense as an artist This book is PART I of two parts.
