In an essay of yours called "What Is Visionary Art?" you wrote that the artist's mission is to make the soul perceptible. I spoke to him by phone about art's power to transform, Tibetan Buddhism and the danger of chasing many rabbits but catching none. The Greys host regular full and new moon all-faiths-welcome gatherings at their Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, a sanctuary and art gallery where selected paintings of Grey's are on permanent display. Grey, 55, lives and works in New York City with his wife, the painter Allyson Grey, and their daughter, actress Zena Grey. They are modern-day religious icons and mandalas for 21st century Westerners. His paintings have an uncanny effect on viewers, making them sense - or at least consider the possibility of - the subtle energies that surround us and how these personal force fields might change depending on our intention, actions and moods. Whether you believe Grey's work depicts the reality of divine auras or a particularly vibrant artistic license doesn't much matter. His work shows human bodies - rendered with medical-illustration precision - wrapped in layers of sacred energy.
