Transdisciplinary Artist | Speaker | Consultant | Veteran

A picture is worth much more than a thousand words! My name is Michael Novotny, and I am a transdisciplinary artist, speaker, consultant, and a U.S. Army veteran. I am deeply passionate about creative expression and using art to tell stories. My art is intended to be a vessel that carries stories of warriorhood, human becoming, and the desire to connect with what lies beyond the human domain. My work integrates knowledge and practices rooted in spiritual traditions, science, philosophy, mythology, and depth psychology. Terrapsychology is one of the primary methodologies that influences much of my work as an artist and doctoral candidate. This discipline weaves between ecopsychology and depth psychology, expanding upon these fields in visionary ways. As an artist, terrapsychology helps me illuminate, animate, and honor ideas of interconnectedness while creating. When I am not in my studio, I aspire to help others bring conscious awareness to their own becoming process. I do so by facilitating the soulful exploration of creativity using imaginal intelligence practices, poetry, free writing, and visual art making.
