Oblation by Rob Schouten

Our cover this issue is by Dutch artist Rob Schouten who lives on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound where he paints realistic images with a sense of mystery and magic.

"My paintings reveal the deeper reality underlying our common experience and are inspired by a transformative vision of the Earth. I think it is important to use beauty as a vehicle into people's hearts, because ultimately I find the world to be a place of harmonious beauty more than a place of suffering."
