Allyson Grey

About

Allyson Grey is a conceptual abstract painter, social sculptor, and co-founder of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM), a sanctuary for visionary art in New York's Hudson Valley. Her artistic vision emerged from a psychedelic awakening in 1971, inspired by Ram Dass' Be Here Now, during an intentional LSD experience where she encountered 'Secret Writing,' a symbolic language representing divine contact. This led to her core motifs of Chaos (material world), Order (interconnected energy and light), and Secret Writing (untranslatable creative expression), which form an essentialized worldview explored throughout her career. She collaborates closely with her husband, artist Alex Grey, whom she met in 1974 or 1975 at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and together they have built CoSM as an interfaith art church fostering spiritual and creative community through full moon gatherings and exhibitions.
