About my art:
I would describe my paintings as spiritual art and energetic imagery. My paintings are reflections of the changes I am going through - my spiritual aspirations and journey. I hope that they will uplift and encourage and bring joy to others. My message is simple - we are multidimentional beings who can free ourselves of our limiting beliefs - if we dare to face our fears. Colours are what I enjoy most about painting. Colours form a vibrational energy that the viewer can share.
I`ve grouped my paintings into themes. I love runes, so I�ve chosen runic symbols as themes.I like to describe the paintings with short poems called Haiku (a Japanese form of poetry). Many of my paintings are done in a triangular frame. For me, the triangle is symbolic of the many facets of human beings - the physical, emotional and spiritual.
About me:
I was born in South Africa in the Eastern Cape province and grew up in the small town of Oudtshoorn - part of the Little Karoo - a landscape of intense colours. I loved art and painting from an early age, but for years practiced it as a hobby only. For many years I worked in many different fields of the health industry. I became interested in alternative health - what attracted me was the holistic approach and that the person is actively involved in his/her own healing. I did various courses in energy work (Reiki, Shambhala). In 2006 I went through a healing crises - after examining my life, I decided to focus on using my gifts to celebrate life and to encourage others who have similar issues. I devide my spare time equally between painting and doing energy work. I do a combination of NES (new energy system) and Reiki plus acupressure.
