The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

Joseph Campbell

Mitchell Pluto: I find painting a very hypnotic activity with self initiating qualities. My inspiration for paintings follows my research into non ordinary states of awareness. My visual compositions develop while I'm painting. Any kind of groundwork to a painting for me is often an associative trip into the collective unconsciousness. I get disappointed if I'm not surprised by what I create. I like finding out about my mind while painting. My concern with beauty is channeled more in the jewelry I make. I live in Wild Horse Plains, Montana with my wife.
