Artist Statement:
"Art making is an exploration
of emotion, intellect,
physicality and spirituality.
It is a manifestation of the
interplay between the
conscious and unconscious
mind. Human beings tend to
have an inherent appetite for
altered states of
consciousness. Art can be a
conduit for this kind of
experience. It can help us to
break free from the
imprisoning models of reality
that we create by our own
minds. Art making is a way to
experience a kind of freedom
from the trappings of rational
perception. It is a method for
counter-balancing the
restricting formalities of
contemporary civilized
existence. Ultimately, art is
a metaphor for the spiritual
and philosophical ideas of
life that cannot be otherwise
expressed."...

Reviews for Michael Lightsey:

"Excellent work! Vibrant, emotive, alive and powerful. I find your work very Zen...wonderfully serene and reflective. There’s translucence to them that draws the viewer in deeply. Superb work that has the delicacy of a haiku yet the energy of a firework display...subdued yet powerful use of color."
