Central Virginia IONS Community Group Program Title:

“Sacred Geometry, Art and the Effects of Shapes on Consciousness.”

Our June 17, 2017, Central Virginia IONS Community Group program will feature a talk by artist Vandorn Hinnant, Durham, N.C. painter, sculptor, poet and educational consultant, moderated by his wife, AnaMaria Walle.

From an early age, Vandorn Hinnant consistently endeavored to translate his inner visions and other-dimensional experiences into something shareable with the world.

In 1989 he began his formal studies of Sacred Geometry under the tutelage of physicist and inventor Robert L. Powell, Sr., who became his mentor.

Since that fate-filled day, Vandorn Hinnant has developed a body of two and three-dimensional works of art, painting and sculpture, that some recognize as more than art. Many have encountered them and experienced transformative and expanded states of awareness.

Drawing inspiration from naturally occurring geometries and utilizing the Golden Ratio (also known as The Golden Proportion or Section), Vandorn Hinnant creates elegant compositions that embody fractal phenomenon. In doing so, he joins a long line of artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Salvador Dali who have used empirical methods to achieve aesthetic ends.

Vandorn Hinnant: Before We Knew

“Before We Knew: From The Mother of Everything” – Artwork by Vandorn Hinnant

AnaMaria Walle began her studies of metaphysics in 1973 and never stopped. She tracked down Vandorn when she saw an image of one of his works, entitled “Voice,” on a postcard while on the West Coast.

Her immediate response was, “I must meet whoever created this work of art.” Now together 15 years (married for 3), they continue to collaborate exploring inspirations they encounter in the realm of the metaphysical.

Join Vandorn and AnaMaria in conversation and entertaining questions posed by the audience as they share images of his work, creative explorations they have pursued such as pyramid power, meditation chambers and more!
