You can see examples of my work on
the Gallery page.
When
I step into the creative process, I work with prayers,
meditation, the unseen energies of the spirit world,
the support of Mother Earth and the stone spirits, and
flower and gem essences. Gem essences are created individually
as called into being by the art or jewelry I’m
co-creating. I also work with flower and gem essences
in the water for the brushes in use in artwork.
Artwork and Jewellery
I create individual art and jewellery as the inspiration
comes to me. The process includes prayers, offerings and
listening for those spirits which step forward in the
co-creation of your own, personal healing path. Individual
art and jewellery, and prices, can be viewed on the link
to my Yahoo photo album on the Gallery page. SoulSong
Art
I create these personalised works on flat, white art
canvas, 34.5 x 46cm (13.75” x 18.25”). I
get a sense of whether the board will be vertical or
horizontal and what the background colours will be.
Then I wait until the images and colour start arriving.
I work with acrylics, pastels and oil pastels, as well
as anything else that takes my fancy, such as glitter
paint. I also incorporate crystals, wood, feathers,
etc., as I feel drawn. Each piece of art is completely
individual to the person ordering the work.
Healing Mandalas
Circles are in and around us – the sun, the Earth,
tree trunks, cells within us, our inner energy wheels
– the chakras. Circle-based mandalas can awaken
your inner vision to take you deep into inner, healing
journeys. I create personalised mandalas on black foam
core board using art pencils. When I get a vision of
the images I need to work with, I draw the patterns
and symbols in white pencil, and then add colours over
the white, shading to illuminate the light within the
symbols. I have no idea what I’m going to create
when I get going, and I’m pretty much always surprised
by the final product. The trick is not to draw what
you think you ought to depict, but to trust that the
images that turn up are the ones I need to work with.
It is an inspiring process.
Jewellery
My jewellery focuses on creating necklaces, bracelets
and earrings in conjunction with the stone spirits.
I listen to which stone spirits wish to step forward
to be incorporated in whatever piece I am creating.
I may create a wrap for a single stone spirit, or work
with semi-precious gemstones and chips. Colours are
important to me too as they are an integral part of
the healing process so I also work with focal beads
if I feel called to incorporate them in the work I’m
creating. My aim is to offer simple, affordable jewellery
which showcase the elements whose essence is healing.
Gem Essences
I co-create gem essences in a sacred process with the
stone spirits. It means listening to my heart for the
answers and sometimes I am very surprised by which stone
spirits become part of each essence. Essences are created
by opening up a sacred space where a bowl of spring
water is placed and within it another bowl with the
stone spirits. These are then left for however long
is indicated by the stone spirits.
Australian Bush Flower Essences
I work with the vibrational flower remedies created
by Ian White to create personalised flower essences
according to your needs. We work together to listen
for those essences which resonate for you and discuss
what each offers you in a deeper understanding of your
healing needs.
