I'm Michael Timothy Bean...

Philly born, Cape May raised and Berkeley baked. I am a photographer, artist, sailor, Energy Worker and Psycho-Spiritual Counselor.

“Intuography” (Intuitive Photography) is the art of capturing flashes of inspiration and intuitively transforming them, using a meditative "spirit to spirit" collaboration, into colorful and often surreal abstractions that represent the present-time energies of the “Soul Subject.”

My art emerged during a journey to explore intuitive senses and symbolic sight. The result was an unlocking of new creativity and a desire to share with others in a way that opens and serves.

When creating a piece from a grounded and meditative space, I invite the spirit of the subject and ask for information and guidance. The elements mix, and the result is often a powerful and surprising gift of color and insight.

I seek to inspire others to pay attention to and trust their individual responses to and perceptions of the essential nature of the Soul Subject as portrayed in the finished “Intuograph”.

When I transform a photo into an Intuograph, I surrender and create the essential nature of the subject by stripping it of physical form and showing the energy beneath.

My work is often surreal and abstract, evoking a sense familiar and new out of something that is known and perhaps unappreciated and taken for granted.

I find that the Intuographs I create pull out and reveal intuitive impressions, awareness, clarity, and understanding of the essence of the source.

How we see and what we see is unique to each of our cumulative experiences, presence and personal wisdom. When engaging with my work, I ask you to turn off your tendency to analyze and understand, and simply look at your reactions and responses. See what it is in you that inspires them, and then welcome the feeling states that come up.

My intention is to inspire you to come to know your own impressions. I invite you to allow, see, and say what shows up, regardless of how you or others may judge it.

How in touch with your own intuitive awareness are you? What do you see-sense-feel-know when you explore an image? And what does what you see mean to you and your understanding of the energetic essence of yourself?
