Forest Aliya is an abstract painter, sound healer, and meditation practitioner whose work is rooted in light, sound, and consciousness. She holds an MFA in Painting, Color Theory, and Soundscapes from Pacific Northwest College of Art, as well as a Master’s Certificate in Holographic Sound Healing. Her training through Aesclepion Healing Institute also includes Clairvoyance, Energetic Light Healing, and Teaching Meditation.

Forest calls her paintings Timescapes. They are about arriving and being. Meditation is an important part of her process, allowing her to become still enough to experience a landscape beyond what is simply seen. Light, color, atmosphere, sound, and presence become part of the painting. Rather than describing a place, Timescapes hold the experience of being there.

Her sound practice comes from the same understanding that we are more than what we experience on the surface. Holographic means multidimensional, and we are multidimensional beings. During a Holographic Sound Healing, we experience ourselves in that wholeness. It plays out as peace—the peace and love that exist at the center of who we are.

Both practices come from Forest’s understanding that light and sound are at the foundation of creation. Painting, meditation, and sound become different ways of experiencing that truth.
