Artistic talent combined with life-long exploration of consciousness and devotion to self-realization has given Daniel B. Holeman an ability to depict uplifting and profound sacred imagery.  His inspirational paintings often have a strong impact on people. Daniel feels it is not so much the beauty, but the place it stirs within that people are responding to.  He invites the viewer to dive into a deeper dimension of consciousness while viewing his paintings, allowing the high frequency imagery to activate their own higher frequencies within.  The imagery activates forgotten awareness of a felt-sense of HOME – a warm, familiar and heartfelt state of mind – and his videos are a deeply moving experience to behold. Daniel's primary role in life is that of a messenger and guide for all (who are ready) to realize our Unity.  He offers insight, clarity and counsel on living in this world with that awareness. And the art that comes through him is the creative expression of that role.  He is a way-shower, helping other
