The artist I choose is Terrence McKenna. He is not necessarily a painter but he is very much so an artist. His work and projects really mean a lot to me even if they may not be completely right or true, it’s just nice to have someone that has been on the same mission as you but just took it a little farther.

            He was born on November 16, 1946 and sadly died of a brain tumor on April 3, 2000. He was raised in Paonia Colorado but spent much of his teenage years in California where he lived with his best friend. His father, Richard was a salesman who traveled around the world to make sales. His mother, Hazelle Kemp, it does not say much about his mother online. Terrence had one sibling, his brother Dennis, they were very close and both went a lot of places together.

            Terrence went to BS to study in ecology, resource conservation and shamanism. He had one wife Kathleen, who he had one son too but ended in a divorce. Terrence had many struggles during his life and career, especially bringing a new idea into the world, it was very controversial to what everyone had been believing about us, and what surrounds us for so long. He had a brain tumor when he was still somewhat young in his early 50’s he was told he only 4 months to live. 

            One thing not many people know about him is that he did have a bad shroom trip, but he will never discuss it. His type of work was abstract, some of his most famous works, were the books, “Opening the Doors of Creativity” “Foods of the gods” and “True hallucinations”.

            Some of the pieces I found myself interested in where the “Foods of the gods” and “The invisible Landscape” Terrence had done so much in his life, but no one can confirm if it was even worth it. Only Terrence himself can, although I would not take everything that he says as fact, he Is still a very intellectual being who has shared many amazing ideas with society that would have never been introduced if it wasn’t for him, so for that we thank him for making a difference in this big world we call earth.
