The way of transformation is a difficult path. It demands the courage to face the shadow side, wrestle with the lower self, and re-orient to light and higher purpose. First the purifying waters of experience test and nearly drown the seeker; then the fires of “the burning ground” cleanse and burn away that which hinders light. The awakening soul presses onward, braving the fire, balancing the opposites, treading the “narrow razor-edged path.” As consciousness expands, the portal to a world beyond opens before the inner eye.
Nancy Wait is an artist, a writer, and a seeker. Her paintings—born of deep inner experience—capture the trials and triumphs that mark the spiritual quest. In brilliant color, shape, and form she expresses dimensions of the path in a way that words alone cannot do.
Beneath each painting, Nancy offers captions describing their essence.

Portal
Finally, having reached that point of balanced Oneness, a portal opens to another dimension. A world beyond.
