Welcome to my website. I am thrilled to begin this journey with you, sharing my artwork and musings. My latest project is entitled the Sacred Elements of life. Each sacred element Air , Earth , Fire ,Water and Spirit is the foundation of our Earth Walk. I have begun a series of work which embodies each sacred element and then explores aspects of there nature, which embodies our our true inner natures. Each signature and aspect painting aids us as we work towards "knowing ourselves in all of our parts.", they are a meditation on and within there respective element. Each painting has a story to tell , each element that moves within you is waiting to illuminate your shining path, so come with me on a journey, a journey into the realm of water... Gaze into the element of Water, the deep well of memory, the heart of expressive emotion. the spring of empathic union. Dive deep into the deep blue ocean of understanding. Close your eyes allow the paintings image to be clearly bound within your minds eye. Take a deep cleansing breath, as you do imagine how the “mana” in the air, that energetic force that imbues all that is, sparkling all around you , entering your lungs and energizing your body. As you breath gently, imagine yourself in your inner sanctuary , a realm that is perfectly yours, a safe haven , a place where you can enter with your minds eye and from which you can move between the worlds. Your sanctuary may be a forest glade, a ripened corn field, a liminal place : the shore where the oceans waves lap at your feet. Now in this place of sanctuary visualize before you a doorway, a portal to mystery . It could be made of many materials, wood or metal , it could be a cave entrance with a boulder across it. Imagine now that you see this portal and that upon it you can emblazon the name, sigil or colour of the element that you wish to enter into and explore. See this image as clearly as you see your self when looking into a mirror. See this portal to mystery to open and step inside . Breath deep you are now between the worlds, in the realm of the elementals what do you see, hear , smell , feel and sense? Allow you feet to caress the ground as you walk within this realm, listen to the heart beat of the elemental source. Are there words that whisper to you? Are there images that wish to be recognized? Listen with your heart as well as your mind, explore this realm take as much time as you need to gain this elementals wisdom and insight. Know that you can always return to this place at anytime to understand more. When you have experienced all that you require on this journey, Give thanks and gratitude to the sacred elemental of life with whom you have communed . Breath deep , turn and imagine you once again see the portal or doorway which lead you to the realm of mystery, Walk through the veil closing the doorway behind you, finding yourself once again in you sanctuary. Breath deep and gently visualize yourself back in the mundane realm ,back in the room where you began your journey, then open your eyes. Give thanks to the wise elementals of water Breath gently and allow your thoughts to return to the world of the mundane. Breath once more , open your eyes and journal all that you have experienced.
