“The shell must break before the bird can fly.”

The intersection of perfume and visual art transpired for me while studying aromatherapy back in the early nineties. In 2001 the concept of creating natural perfume as a constructed artwork, like my paintings really struck. Then while at a Visionary Art workshop in Austria I saw, within even more clarity, how all the pieces fit together.
Over at my visual art journal I just posted a piece about an image I created titled H2
Illuminated, Heaven and Hell. This was brought on by uploading the limited edition Giclee up on etsy.

Thanks for sharing both your images and the link to your visual blog. I cannot help but have Blake floating around the back of my head as I view your Heaven and Hell, but that is a happy thing, as I love Blake.
I've returned a few times to view these again...
Welcome back Scentself. Blake! That is a mighty compliment, for he is one of my very favorite artists...a master. Thank you. I am happy that the images are of interest to you.
