"Woody" began writing his manifesto on transpersonal art in 1988 while still a partner in CR2, a corporate communications firm, located in Rochester, NY. His concepts during those days had derived from the school of Renaissance humanism and derivatives of the Futurist and DADA art movements. His goal was to interject the market with a new definition of "corporate art" as an adjective rather than a noun.   It was during those years, CR2's helped to birth and redefine "corporate art" within the context of functional works designed to document the evolutionary process of mans relationship to this technologies who's role as art is to "sensitive" the populist to innovations within the technology sector. "Woody" continues to promote the concept of art as healing in his personal artwork, as demonstrated with in these online galleries.

I only ask of myself to take the space-time to dwell with the work in its such-ness, making every part of the process a trance inducing play, rather than racing to a foregone conclusion that I hold somewhere in my head.  It's the difference between goal-orientated behavior, contrasted to the attitude of appreciating every phase, every process as an end in itself. Because, no part of life or art should be merely rushing from A to Z without appreciating the journey in its fullness along the way. Every moment is complete in itself. With art and life, there is space and opportunity at every phase for invention". James e. Woody 2009

Like many of the nameless ones that proceeded him, "Woody" has lived most of his life outside the "box" and many of his contributions have remained a secret to most. Yet above all that he may appear to be, he is an artist, a solution-oriented problem solver; a seeker of answers to the mystery of the transformative process of growth and the metamorphosis of the world of human experiences, consciousness, and spirit.  He is a humble man of considerable intellectual curiosity who ranges wide in his reading and thinking, a thinker who plumbs a world of ideas found in philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and ancient cultures, mythology, and literature to find inspiration for his work.  Many consider him a seeker of answers to the mystery of the transformative process of growth and metamorphosis, seeking to give visual expression to his concepts. He employs the sources and principals of Transpersonal art  and design psychology into the creation of his most unique paintings and regenerates an ability to manifest and create a portal for spiritual representations to make their way into the sensory realm for the eye to perceive as each viewer is challenged to remember their personal redeeming and mythical "inner life".

As founder of the Be Sensitive Studio, "Woody" continues to promote the Be Sensitive Network and the first global Be Sensitive Humanitarian Day (Nov 1st 2010).  Both of which originated out of his desire to help bring public awareness of the financial challenges of charitable organizations and provide funding for nonprofit organizations who are bring solutions to many of humanities challenges. Woody also has plans to attend the American Institute of Holistic Theology, his long term objective is to acquire a Doctorate within the field of Holistic Therapy, thereby inspire thought-provoking teachings and help others -bring life to a philosophy of intention, preparation and possibility.

Thank you for allowing me the time to share with you, this a brief insight to the personality of this true American Artist and meaning and purpose of his work.
