For limited edition prints and original paintings go to his art website at https://www.markwaller.com.au In 2016 artist Mark Waller experienced a profound spiritual awakening driven by a near death experience. Having never really written before, he was suddenly and completely compelled to record his story by a force outside his experience and understanding.
