Brett Manning

Brett is an artist and illustrator living in rural north central Indiana. She works in many mediums including photography, short films, watercolor, plush toy design, and candle making, but her absolute favorite, and possibly what she’s best known for, would be her ink drawings. She finds inspiration for her art in many things, such as plants and animals, patterns, textures, folklore, dreams, synchronicity, Deja vu, the supernatural, spontaneity, truth, isolation, community, and the exploration of the self… and her process for creating tends to feel more meditative and alchemical than anything, with all the repetitive inking and line work and sigil-like patterns. She also attempts to recreate the images seen within dreams, and to capture the beings and creatures who seem to want representation in our world.

Episode Summary

In this episode, we introduce you to Brett Manning -- an amazing artist that entered our orbit through a synchronistic encounter with Anthony at the Frogman Festival in Loveland, Ohio, involving an entity she helped bring into our world through one of her many amazing illustrations. Brett discusses her artistic process, which sounds truly like an alchemical act of co-creation, how entities and beings from the realm of the Fae work with her to come into our reality, her encounters and shared experiences with an entity likened by some to the Celtic nature god Cernunnos, and her permeable self experiences with what she calls "The Great All" -- akin to a non-dualistic Source consciousness that transcends and obliterates the reigning physicalist paradigm and Western worldview!
