David Onri Anderson’s paintings are impressions of sensory and spiritual experiences with images. Anderson employs experimental, non-objective and intuitive approaches to process and materials, with influences from Hebrew mysticism and tantric art to cosmic philosophy. Through the process of expanding, deconstructing and echoing of a variety of forms, he seeks out the inherent alchemical possibilities in colors, materials and repetition. His most recent subjects are fed from his practice as a gardener and nature lover in Tennessee, using patterns from organic life forms, extracting dyes and textures from elements such as leaves, flowers and fruit, and unfolding stories alluding to a universal spirit or mythology.

I am a plant-taught, intuitively led astrological herbalist. My work is reverent of the archetypal energies represented by the celestial bodies of the zodiac. I work as a medium between the plants and the stars, bringing forward their wisdom to share with you. My mission is to promote harmonic health among all beings.

Currently I offer this work through Willow Tiger Alchemy, where physical curations of herbal/celestial teachers are transmuted by myself and other herbal artists/intuitives to be taken as medicine. We provide care in the form of spiritual, astrological, and clinical consultations supported by plant allies.

This work is intended to celebrate the collective ancestral wisdom stored within each of us, and woken in our earthly bodies through connection to the plant teachers.
