my creative processes
First, I paint through opening myself to intangible energy
patterns that flow through me and wish to be manifested.
My second technique is with sacred
geometry, through which the laws of all creation are
expressed. The basic structure of my
mandalas or
earth grids comes to me within a few hours, but then take
weeks or months to be finished, as every colour requires a
process of creation. Through their concentration of energy and
structure, the mandalas bring me, and hopefully the viewer,
into a deep state of contemplation and help move beyond the
form into unlimited space. They form strong, new energetic
patterns within us. I can truly feel a change of patterns on a
cellular level within my entire body and in my brain
structure: opening new potential; teasing dormant brain cells
into life!
The third process is creating healing
paintings for others (on request). Here, energy systems are
altered. The process of painting as well as the finished work
of art allow within the person I paint for a liberating shift
of energetic patterns and therefore harmonises body and soul.
This aspect of painting is a very beautiful and rewarding way
to work.
media
I mainly work with
acrylics on stretched and un-stretched canvases and I
enjoy the exploration of
soft pastels and mixed media on stretched paper.
In the period from 2004 – 2006, I often
added sand from many different beaches throughout New Zealand
to my paintings. Not only does this add plasticity,
3dimensionality and structure to the works, but the sand
shares its ancient wisdom with us, adding further vibrations.
The addition of this sand vibration permits a strong
reconnection with the earth element – one which the viewer can
feel, see and hear.
Since 2007 I have often worked outside
using copious amounts of water. The water element enables the
paintings to become more flowing. Water shares its obvious and
subtle wisdom with us, challenging us to become more flexible,
demanding the surrender to a divine rhythm and our
ever-changing reality; connecting with the world and
“all-there-is”. The water element further teaches us courage,
curiosity and the strength of daring to flow within the
natural rhythm of our lives. |
