About Akesana

One day during the summer of 2008 I spent some time with an artist friend who needed help with his web site. We usually met at his art studio, which smells of paint and is alive with color. The walls were covered with notes on string theory, quotes, inspirational bits and pieces of whatever meant something to him. Other walls showcased finished paintings or works in progress. His canvas was always about nine feet wide; so large in fact that you would feel as though you could walk into each painting and be inside it.

This experience we feel is something he creates with vibrantly colored paint brush strokes. Every time I visited I felt energized and filled with light. I couldn’t wait to find any excuse to return to his studio. He and I would talk for hours about energy, vibrations, feelings, auras, sounds, connections, and all kinds of things that we knew existed but couldn’t really define without anyone thinking we were too weird.

He does live art performances, where he paints in front of an audience. He’s told me that people cry as they watch him paint. He’s drawn huge crowds of people inspired by whatever magic he’s got pouring out of him. What is this thing he taps into? Why does it resonate with some of us and not others? If he can move people by brush strokes, what else can be done when we open ourselves? What would happen if we recognize we DO connect on many levels beyond the physical?

Akesana is the combination of the first names of everyone in my family and my artist friend’s name, with an extra “A” at the end. It’s a blending of people I love, created to become a new thing.

With this web site, my hope is to blend together ideas, experiences, opinions, moments and brush strokes of each color of you. Why? Because the world is getting smaller. The Internet has given us many new ways to find one another.

What do we want to create together, now that we’re all here?

Create Peace,
