Sherry Tompalski’s Vortex Paintings exhibited in Jerome Arizona with the Jerome Artists Collective in 2010.
A Vortex is a place in nature where the earth is exceptionally alive with energy. The term Vortex in Sedona refers to a place where the earth energy swirls and draws to it’s center everything that surrounds it like a tornado.

At these magical sites, trees often exhibit this swirling or twisting of their trunks due the powerful vortex energy at the core of a Sedona Vortex. (http://www.aguidetosedona.com/sedona-vortex/)
