Damian Michaels

"I was born October 30th, 1969 in the United States of America, where my family moved frequently throughout my childhood. Around the age of 7 I had a spirit visitation from my deceased cousin, Annie, who revealed my destiny and the future of our planet through a series of intense visions. Although always having a connection with the spirit realm since those early years, the main form of contact with the 'other side' in my adult life has been primarily through my art, where I am more medium than artist, bringing forth that which wants to be manifest through me.

"After migrating to Australia in 1994 I established my magazine, Art Visionary, to connect with those of like mind and to share our collective vision with the world. This is a time which could not be more critical to do so. Visionary art is the spiritual, psychological and emotional mirror to the collective consciousness. This reflection (our art) of our inner most core reveals those dualities of dark and light, good and evil, fears and hopes and ultimately a way to find the balance and transcend the path of materialism and destruction humanity has chosen to embrace."
