Hi! My name is Michael.  I’m an artist living in San Francisco, California.  I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and I’ve always had a love for the trees, the mountains and the Pacific coastline. The planet is both a mother and an artist. She provides nourishment for life, creating beautiful landscapes, and treasures that appear from the ground as if by some sentient magic. This is where my heart lives, at the intersection of nature and consciousness, creation and collaboration. I feel most at peace when I am creating something. I feel the most aligned when I am learning. I feel the happiest when I am with my friends and family. This is my journey through time and space. Everything you will see here was created by me or someone I met along the way.

Avia Cosmica is a psychedelic dream. It’s for me and it’s also for you, the wanderer, the explorer, the psychedelic adventurer. Take a trip through my site. Explore the crystals and the photography. Lose yourself. Expand your mind. Discover the world beyond the veil.

I started selling crystals in 2016 after graduating college with a degree in Environmental Science. I have always been fascinated with the natural forces of the cosmos. Crystals grow inside the earth. They are a natural outcome of earth’s geologic process that seem to just appear out of the ground, organized yet disorganized and stunningly beautiful. Crystals were the seed. They led me to start making jewelery to show off their wonder. They catalyzed my interest in photography. They even brought me to plant medicine.
