Artist BIO
Cindy Berman
I am especially passionate about my Consciousness Collection, inspired by my many years of spiritual study. I will be creating paintings that are customized with one of the 72 names of G-d and other Hebrew/Aramaic phrases. Scanning these letters on the painting will offer a connection to the infinite spiritual current that flows through the world. Plugging into these sources of spiritual power, we can acquire protection from negativity and danger, remove blockages that separate us from joy and fulfillment, and open pathways to transformation for ourselves and the world. As the eyes are the windows to the soul, we can simply scan the letters with an open heart, willing mind, and certainty beyond logic in order to manifest the chosen energy we desire in our lives. I am open to exploring various ways of introducing the Consciousness Collection to our community.
