72 Names of God

Ancient wisdom.
Technology for the soul. Doorways into consciousness.

Hidden within the story of the Red Sea in the Book of Exodus are seventy-two triplets of Hebrew letters. For centuries, they have been used in the Kabbalistic tradition as contemplative doorways into states of consciousness.

Painting titled Parallel Universes (Hei Yud Yud). A pale blue centre shimmers before the eye, a matrix of purples, yellows and pinks pulsating outwards through parallel universes.

"To work with the Names is to remember something internal that was always there, waiting to be recognized."
– SUSAN SMITH

The 72 Names of God are not names in any conventional sense. Each is a frequency. A doorway. A specific quality of light woven into the fabric of creation, and within us.

​​

Each carries the potential to cross an inner threshold, from the limitations of the ego into expanded consciousness.


These paintings carry a living presence and the intelligence of the letters themselves. They invite us into conversation with creation—to stand in awe before beauty and remember something we have never truly lost.

In great darkness is born the greatest light.

 

Painting the Names became the answer to my own inner prayer. To paint a Name is to surrender to its mystery, allowing the wisdom of the letters to reshape the vessel that receives them.

​

Each painting is a doorway into the living presence carried by the Name.
