Rodney Birkett
Combining surrealism, fantasy and celestioal visions with a meticulous, highly developed and polished technique, Rodney achieves a new dimension of imagery in his visionary art. Using nature and his own mystical experiences and inspirations he is able to realize on canvas new and existing creations.

Rodney Birkett, a native of San Francisco and Virgo extraordinairewas influenced early by his family's invlovement in Arts and Crafts. For Rodney the real call to paint came later in life. After a very diversified life, which included photography, lithography, graphic design and commercial art, he decided to trun to the Fine Arts. Being influenced by the infamous Salvador Dali, and the surrealistic movement, living in true Bohemian style in the early San Francisco Beat Generation of North Beach, he formed his styles and early visions. Having no formal education in the arts and mainly self-taught, he met and formed a freindship with George Sumner, a Bay Area environmental painter, who brought him to a new level of artistic expression. In the early 80's he moved to Mt. Shasta and became exposed to the mystical and inner teachings of the Self. This brought about a new level of understanding and awareness that he could now translate into what is now know as "Visionary Art".
