In this episode of Quality Living with Peaceful Support, Amanda Whittemore speaks with artist Kamora Jones about her evolution from early drawing and mystical Christian influences to a metaphysical art practice shaped by post-church studies and expanded perception. Kamora explains her Transmigration Theory, depicting “transmigrators,” light codes, and artworks as portals that transmit information about collective consciousness, the soul-mind connection, and the energy body. She urges listeners to choose creativity over limitation, share their voice bravely, and define quality as authenticity plus sustained craft.

Kamora Jones’ work can be experienced at her website, ART SOLDIER 77.
