About

Honshin Fine Art has two galleries at Tlaquepaque Shopping Center in Sedona, Arizona. On the main level promenade, visit The Gallery of Wholeness, Harmony, and Radiance, along with our upper-level Gallery of the Ascending Spirit for the full experience!

When you step into this transcendental art gallery, expect your consciousness to expand. The Honshin gallery features works by nine local Sedona artists in various mediums, from symbolist and meditational paintings to fine jewelry, spiritual amulets, 3D art, pottery, sculptures, and more!

Honshin is an internationally acclaimed artist who was put on the world map through his 23-year collaboration with Thich Nhat Hanh, a colleague and peace activist, as well as Martin Luther King, Jr., renowned for his symbolic and meditative paintings that celebrate the merging of art, science, and nature.

Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin’s art and poetry reflect his experiences with ancient Eastern spiritual practices and the philosophies of Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, and ancient Mesoamerican cultures. His work is a mythic blend of ancient healing practices and modern trends in spirituality, science, and nature, resulting in a true fusion of East and West. His art embodies his personal journey, combining ancient healing symbols and practices with contemporary themes in spirituality, science, and nature. Deeply influenced by the Northwest Mystic School—a legacy passed down by his father, Daiensai Kuden Bonseki Dojin, and other renowned artists from that era—Honshin views art as a spiritual quest. Using painting, printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, and poetry as tools, Honshin aims to communicate the unity of consciousness and the interconnectedness of all life.

Honshin has received international recognition for his artwork and poetry, largely influenced by the teachings of his artist father and his father's colleagues.

Be sure to visit our other lovely gallery, the Gallery of the Ascending Spirit, located on the upper level, right in the heart of Tlaquepaque, next to the charming fountain: Suite C205.
