In  the 1970’s, Robert Masla coined the term “Spiritrealism” to describe how the spiritual can manifest itself in the so-called “mundane” realities of everyday life.  “We’re given the opportunity to participate in creation every day of our lives.  Creating art is a form of worship, a form of spirituality born through creative living,” says Masla.  For him, Spiritrealism is a way of life.

Painting the landscape around him brings Masla joy because it allows him to “take things that we might pass by every day and bring them into focus—to see them again as if for the first time.”

Masla has lectured and taught painting, drawing and art history at several colleges and institutions.  He also conducts workshops from his studio and home in rural Ashfield, Massachusetts, where he lives with his wife and three children.
