Cody Lecoy: Painting has evolved for me to a state now of Abstract Expressionism, where the picture plane sets the stage for a spiritual landscape. This becomes an arena to work out my thoughts. Ideas are born in my mind, and felt while painting, painting becomes a grounding act, bridging the mind and the heart giving rise to ideas clear in intention. With intent to find deep connection within, the Art of the Northwest coast has become a valuable teacher. The art pays respect to nature illustrating the one as whole. With this approach I wish to demonstrate synchronicity between the Outside world and soul. The art is a synthesis of my interests, various spiritual practice have garnered lessons of similar nature. In sport I learned of the mind/body relation, finding power in visualization, from Buddhist philosophy , better understanding of mind's behaviors, Surrender to the moment found in music, meditation(sweat lodge ceremony), body movement.Shamanism and Sacred plants, have opened source to indigenous knowledge. My vision in art is to use nature as a model of harmony and as a mirror which can be achieved within.
