ABOUT GATEWAY
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." - Albert Einstein
It is so amazing how some paintings come into being and the effect they have on the unsuspecting viewer.
In 1997 I was painting with a group of like-minded artists for an upcoming exhibition. One of the artists was a beautiful soul by the name of Greg Grace. Greg was a good friend of mine whose work I greatly admired.
One day Greg was showing me some of his latest drawings and when I saw a sketch of the GATEWAY, I was blown away. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, affecting me very deeply. I wanted to take it home to look at, every day.
So I came up with a great solution, I would paint it! I approached Greg with the idea and much to my surprise he agreed. Greg liked the way I painted and felt that my style of painting would very much suit and enhance the powerful energy emanating from the mandala. He gave me the original drawing from which I worked.
I absolutely loved painting the mandala.
Painting the mandala in the dot style is the most effective and energetically powerful way of transmitting the essence of GATEWAY. The energy was so powerful at times that I could not work on the painting for more that a couple of hours a day.
The original drawing was only of the mandala, I added the cosmic background because that's where I felt the gateway existed.
When I look at the mandala in a meditative way I go through it to other dimensions. Intuitively, I sense that the GATEWAY exists within the middle star of the belt of Orion, and is the primary star-gate to multi- dimensional levels and universes.
Every one of my friends who came to look at GATEWAY had a unique experience.
In peace and joy,
Maya
TESTIMONIAL FROM NEW OWNER OF GATEWAY
I have purchased a number of original artworks from Maya.
When I first saw Maya’s work, I was mesmerized by the complexity and yet from a distance, the simplicity as well as the incredible beauty of her paintings. Not only are Maya’s works of art visually stimulating, they emit an energy of peace and love that can be felt in the heart.
Everyone that visits my house comments and praises the painting called GATEWAY, which I have hanging in the main part of my house. It hangs on right angles to a large mirror, which then allows us to see the painting from many different angles. It gives the illusion of many GATEWAYs… Everyone stands and gazes at the painting for many minutes before coming in to see me!
I am always interested and waiting to see Maya’s next incredible work of art. She is an extremely talented woman who, I am sure, will be doing amazing artworks in the future. The world is a better place for people like Maya.
I will certainly be one who will be standing in line to buy another one in the future, as well as recommending her pieces to others.
