Dreaming Co:nexus is an ever-evolving network of dedicated artists in collaboration.
This collective is the result of many years of visioning into the future of artistic inspiration,
as multiple facets of a cultural jewel,
as diverse artists drawing forth a raw vision together.
Through sharing treasured insights from the deep solitude of the art path,
new worlds are brought to life.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all those whom we’ve worked to create extraordinary art.
There is much more to come as we continue to share
in this unfolding path of sacred art and creativity.

Aloria Weaver
Aloria studied the human form extensively and passionately for a number of years, then began exploring sacred geometry and pattern, and is subsequently working towards the integration of those elements. After exploring a variety of mediums, including metal casting, ceramic sculpture, photography, & printmaking, she dedicated herself to oil painting, and has been painting for well over a decade.
Underlying all of Aloria’s work is a belief that the highest function of a human being is to love, and the highest function of Art is to point to the transcendental spiritual nature of human beings, facilitating healing on all levels. It is her belief that to assume the highest role of an artist is to become a healer, a visionary, and an intermediary between the realms of humanity and divinity. It is to work ceaselessly for the benefit of all living beings, to live from the heart.
“Each brushstroke, each layer of paint contains encoded information of a specific energetic state- the artist’s intention and state of being transmitted directly through the portal of the painting, to the receiver.”
David Heskin
Driven to create by our mysterious Divine source, while chronicling his path of awakening on this heavenly Earth, David’s purpose in creativity is one of sharing inspiration. Not only in regards to Art, but more importantly, reflecting upon the necessity of humyns to find nourishing ways in which to harmonize with all other life systems. This most basic concept of co:creation guides his artistic dreaming.
Naturally, modeling this principle of unified dreaming through a growing & morphing team of artists has manifested as a way to live the message of planetary cooperation, as well as becoming an epic opportunity to create on levels unavailable to the solo artist.
Inextricably woven into a vast & intricate tapestry of Cultural Creatives spanning more mediums & methods than are possibly knowable, it is Davids ultimate honor to be recognized in his artistic offerings toward our highest collective destiny.
“My paintings are alive! As such, like us, they are entities in progress striving toward greater understanding of their own selves in the universe.”
Eric Nez
Painting was a gift given to Eric Nez at an early age. His parents (an artist and a yogini, both lovers of life) ensured that he had plenty of tools to express his innermost realms. A devoted artist-mystic, Nez is both a visionary and a cultivator of the soul. Tending the garden of personal transformation… offering to the sacred self: nurturing environments, wholesome nutrients, divine light, and love in order to grow the fruit of the spirit and share it with the Universe.
The Muses of yoga, plant medicines, alchemy, and magic lay their offerings at the feet of Nez. His creative process is deeply influenced by transpersonal psychology and the spiritual sciences, as well as intergalactic experiences. The spirits of the mystics all gather around Eric’s studio to whisper in his ear and guide his hand as he paints.
The art of Eric Nez is both a stepping-stone and a chronicle of his evolution of consciousness. Explorations of distinctly different worlds, powerful life experiences, and teachings from ascended masters… all of these find a home in the work of Nez. His every painting is offered up to the universal collective as a catalyst for transformation.
Deeply influenced by the blissful, sacred experiences of life, Eric defines his work as the visual fruit of his own personal growth. He considers himself a seeker- traversing many realms, translating and sharing the discoveries of his travels through the secret and ancient language of pictures.
“When spirit becomes aware of itself, it wants to play”
Noah Einhorn
As magical and mythical as his namesake, the unicorn, Noah Einhorn traverses mediums, occupations, and personas the way a boat glides over water. Once a full-time glass artist, he now serves as the official Dreaming Co:nexus Art Angel.
Noah has been known to complete murals in the 11th hour, (or in the case of Dreaming Co:nexus Art Vigils, the 49th hour), mix palettes, build frames, pour tea, courier paintings from one state to another on a moment’s notice, mix up the finest raw chocolate alchemy this side of the Mississippi, repair antique accordians, play the vibraphones, create aquatic environments for live coral, build visionary art galleries, re-wire the electricity, repair the plumbing, change the gallery lightbulbs, paint the walls, the doors, the floors and the ceilings, climb 30ft. trees to hang 18ft. paintings, climb palm trees for coconuts, sail the ship, swim with dolphins, drive when everyone else is asleep, curate and hang the artwork, impersonate each and every member of Dreaming Co:nexus, drive the ladies crazy, sew, sculpt, demolish and rebuild, practice massage therapy and acrossage, plant and grow gardens, cook complex and flavorful food, fix bicylces, juggle, stilt-walk, throw paint, wash brushes, confuse and befuddle the masses, give generously when he has little, make a mean cup of Turkish coffee, share everything, make up statistics on the spot, study mycology, psychology, and gementomology, make dreams come true, read fortunes, grant wishes, and wreak general havoc wherever he goes.
Noah has been called “the collective ground control” and “the glue that holds DreamCo together”. His energy for all things artistic knows no bounds. An infinitely multi-talented multi-tasker, innovator, creative genius, and self-professed advocate of ‘functional anarchy’, Noah Einhorn is a Renaissance Man, in the truest sense. He is rumored to be the last of his kind, and it is considered highly auspicious, if not downright lucky, to spot him in his natural habitat.
Nikki Moon

This program is an alternative art education program where Nikki teaches foundational art techniques, wilderness education, yoga, and nutrition classes. She has been teaching these arts to youth at alternative education schools, juvenile hall, group homes, and at a community center in downtown Santa Cruz. She has been oil painting since the age of eight and continues to explore and express through painting, drawing and new mediums like jewelry, ceramics and photography. Nikki has a BA. in Fine Arts from UCSC with a focus in painting and drawing. She was honored as a California Art Scholar and continues to have art shows, teach, perform, offer workshops and take classes to deepen her work in the arts.
My marks are immediate and authentic; abstractions of my true nature in harmony with existence. I try to allow the lines to flow where they want to, unobstructed, free from construct and concept, getting out of the way enough to be an open channel for this painted form of language to come through. By following the impulse of the energy taking form in line, color, shape, and tone, I stimulate a release on canvas with paint. Art allows me to express my inner voice, guidance, connection to spirit, and sensuality. Through the artistic process I’ve discovered my creative rhythm and fundamental pulse; a breath and heartbeat, with my brush and paint.
I’m constantly inspired and influenced by my artistic peers. Being able to share our processes, transmit ideas and new techniques with each other, and especially share canvases has created a community where interaction is art. I’ve experienced immense joy and fulfillment through these collaborations. It is a process that I find to be full of trust, flow, surrender, release, healing, co-creation, blessings, breakthrough, growth, renewal, stamina, balance, love, dedication and friendship. In addition, live performance painting has given me the opportunity to share my gifts and to not be afraid to shine in front of thousands, completing the role of the artist in community. This experience allows me to stay present in the moment and share what I have come to this planet to do; share life as creative, as love, as art.
Kai
Steeping in the mysteries of the Dragon, Kai studies the transparent veil between advanced technology and magic. Coming from a ninja upbringing, his favorite color is clear. Accordingly, effective in his art, his impact is imperceivable, invisible. Applying these high forms to the web, the effect becomes seamless, impeccably carrying forth the message. Counterpoint in the rainbow bridge, Kai is the coherence connecting the Dream:Co seed crystal with the ways of hyperspace.
“Technology for awakening minds.”
Steven Oldridge
A self taught artist, my approach to artwork is unconventional. My paintings are informed by a lifelong exploration and love of fluid dynamics, from the swirl of ink in water to the movement of cream in a cup of coffee. This aesthetic is recreated through a complex layering of paint, and captured at micro levels by means of digital photography.
Patterns emerge continuously from within the flowing paint.
Through years of trial and error I have developed techniques to manipulate the chaotic systems at play, learning the importance of colour theory, paint temperature, humidity, and viscosity. Each year new techniques open this artistic process further, deepening my relationship with this unique medium and creating the excitement and awe that I feel each and every time I paint.
Discovering other artists whose work is a mixture of traditional art and what I’ve come to term ‘process-based’ techniques has been a revealing process for me. Oddly these works seem to reinforce a reverence for nature, a sense of wonder at the beauty of physics and chemistry manipulated at the hands of a master, whether conscious of this aspect of their process or not.
