Some time ago my art shifted from trying to paint a picture in my mind to bringing a feeling, intention, or inquiry to the canvas and letting intuition and spirit bring a story through me. It is a ceremonial way of working and a way to bring our Unseen experiences out into this Seen world. A call and response process of being informed and also informing. It is a way to set intention and bring deeply personal soul tending through our body and into visual form. Ultimately offering us an entirety with just one look. Each line drawn is rich with layered meaning. Every colour filled with purpose. It stretches out beyond the canvas into a living ceremony. The tea we brew, the stones we pile, the way the table is set "just so". Sacred space is set, there is paint that calls to be touched not brushed, journals beckon, and a current to follow. Channeled art in this way arrives to me as paintings full of symbols and markings etched in around whimsical animals, mushrooms, and landscapes, or as intricate colour-filled mandalas that hold specific medicinal intentions for the viewer’s well-being.
