Welcome to the art of  Masa Rasa.

About the name . . .  Masa is the Spanish word for 'dough,' commonly made from Maize, or corn.  It is a grinding staple of life, a nourishing food cultivated in the Americas for untold generations.  Rasa is the Sanskrit word for 'nectar,' the ambrosial essence of life, art, and aesthetic experience.  Rasa is the sweetness in the corn.    

Masa Rasa Studios was created to share the painting, sculptural, and multimedia work of  James Nichols.   His work illuminates and honors  Maize  as a visual symbol for Spirit, for Divine Consciousness, the Self . . fully embodied in the art environment entitled  Cornfield - An Artstory. 

Masa Rasa is both food and nectar for the Spirit, ground into life through a harmonious blend of effort and grace, spiced with uncertainty, and sweetened with love.
