ASK THE LIGHT MIRACLE CARDS

ABOUT

Brian Leonard is an Underwater Photographer and Graphic Designer, with over 20 years experience in Visual Arts production. Receiving a Bachelors of Science Degree in Radio-Television-Film from University of Texas at Austin in 1983, Brian has worked as a key cameraman / editor for documentaries shot in Russia, Yugoslavia, and India. Brian’s life transformed however, when he merged his love of the camera with his love of water!

A merman by nature, his most exciting body of work was born in 2006 when an experiment with underwater photography emerged as a unique Art form expressing the healing energy inherent in natural beauty. That started an amazing 7-year journey of creative listening.  This series of images captures the dance of Sunlight in the Sacred Waters of Barton Springs in Austin Texas. The Underwater Light Art continues to take on a life of its own! 

Inspired by the beauty and power of these Underwater Light images, and heeding their call “to be seen”, Brian created OceanLightArts.com; with a mission to Spread the Light by creating fine quality inspirational art products for a global community. Taking the form of The ‘Ask the Light’ Miracle Cards, these Underwater Light images have been handed out individually as gifts to nearly 2000 people, in 5 countries, spanning 4 Continents, very often generating amazing, beautiful and healing responses!

As a student of the Healing Arts; receiving 15 in-depth certifications in  Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hawaiian Shamanism (Huna); Brian has a unique and comprehensive understanding of the healing process, and a passion to assist in healing the global condition, one heart at a time. With an intensifying dedication to share the beauty and healing power of this emerging Art form, Brian and his wife Brenda created Waterlight Healing. This is a project of service and community outreach, with a mission to enhance well-being and promote accelerated healing in care and healthcare environments. In 2014, WaterLight Healing funded the transformation of Austin’s largest Women’s Shelter; permanently installing 20 large Underwater Light canvas prints. 

Brian’s work was exhibited as part of the “Bridge to the Soul: The Art of Healing”, The University of Southern California Institute for Genetic Medicine Art Gallery. His work has also been exhibited locally in Austin Texas since 2012: as a featured Artist at “Submerged” Exhibit, Barton Springs; part of Austin Visual Arts Association Members shows; and solo displays in various spaces in downtown Austin. He recently presented at The Global Alliance for Arts and Health’s 25th Anniversary Conference in Houston Texas: “Journey of Discovery: An Experiment in Underwater Light Photography Evolves into a Visual Art for Healing!”
