James e. Woody is one of the world’s first proclaimed and recognized African American Abstract Transpersonal Expressionist Artist.

Woody is a distinctive talent with a creative vision and a point of reference. 

Woody’s paintings have been described by academics as derivatives of the Expressionist, Futurist, DaDas, and the Action Art Movement. In brief, Woody’s “transpersonal works” depict new forms of cognition and depths of feeling; a catalyst for helping others discover their empowered inner wisdom, the single most powerful and lasting seed of change.

“Transpersonal Art accurately reflects the multiplicity of our reality, by expressing the realm of our primary meaning, a universal mode of consciousness that envisions life as sacred. These images may appear mystical, literal or conceptual, because the abstract elements vary as representation of the known, the less known, and the unknown. Whether you view Transpersonal Art as simply a mirror of ordinary biological urges or as contact with other worlds filled with living beings, what is certain, is they are our collective dreams and visions, the dramatic personae of your own imagination realized as an independent entity with a life of its own.” James e.
