Professor Cain received his A.B. cum laude from Harvard College in English (writing poetry) in 1963 and his B.F.A. and M.F.A. in painting from Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1967. Upon graduation, Professor Cain co- founded Pulsa, an internationally known group of collaborative environmental artists who presented large-scale, technologically based public artworks throughout the United States while also teaching at Yale and many other universities from 1967 to1972. In 1970 Professor Cain traveled to India where he studied with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to become a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation Program. In 1971-72 and 1972-73, he taught a full-credit course for Yale College on the Science of Creative Intelligence, and in 1975 he completed a 10-lesson video series on "Art and SCI: Images of Consciousness." In the same year his co-authored book,
TM, Discovering Inner Energy and Overcoming Stress, became a best-seller. In the late 1970s, Professor Cain again focused his attention on studio, working through a variety of media (small watercolors, large cast-acrylic paintings, polychrome wood reliefs, and mixed media sculpture) to create images of higher states of consciousness. Professor Cain's recent work has been exhibited in major cities throughout the United States and is represented in many public and private collections."
