DANCE OF THE SPIRITS:

MANDALAS BY JON H. DAVIS

Art of Infinite Possibilities

By Iris Brooks

Dance of the Spirits is the Cree name for Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), an unpredictable natural phenomenon appearing as curtains of luminous colors shimmering across the sky. While its name and associated legends vary from one culture to the next, this dance of the spirits is believed by some to be ancestors streaking through the night sky, imparting a collective wisdom.


Jon H. Davis–working out of NORTHERN LIGHTS STUDIO–has been creating mandala art from his photographs and paintings through his own process of digital alchemy for over two decades. DANCE OF THE SPIRITS: MANDALAS BY JON H. DAVIS, Art of Infinite Possibilities is an 8" x 8" signed, hard-cover book in a limited-edition of only 100. Written by Iris Brooks, it includes the entire Dance of the Spirits art collection by Jon H. Davis.
