What Is Healing Art?
Healing art moves the body and psyche into a receptive state for healing to take place. The eyes take in the image, patterns and textures, and the body responds to the color vibrations. Subconscious responses include relaxation, sense of safety, curiosity, heart opening, becoming energized and/or inspired.
Healing art helps people consider new possibilities in their lives, to awaken curiosity and expand limiting thought patterns through color, pattern and texture.
The healing power of color has been widely documented. Specific colors can support and encourage a particular emotional energy (mood) and can also strengthen corresponding areas of the body.
•
Purples, blues and blue/greens are relaxing, heart opening and
support the higher chakras, enhancing connection to Spirit
•Reds, oranges, yellow/golds are energizing, inspiring and
stimulating. Good for depression and lethargy.
•Browns, Greens, Blues are grounding, and enhance one's connection
to the Earth
Certain shapes and patterns also support healing. Images with flowing shapes, colors or patterns encourage life to move forward - gently or energetically, depending on the image.
•Curves and circles are soft, remind us that life is comprised of many
cycles, and that what exists in this moment will pass into another part
of our live's cycles. (Straight lines, by comparison, can create division
and separation but can also support creating order out of chaos.)
•Abstract, non -recognizable patterns and images stimulate the
imagination in an effort to interpret into a meaningful image.
Imagination and curiosity stimulates creativity and creative thinking,
which helps shift the mind away from obsessive self-focused thought
patterns.
•Complex images also keep the mind engaged/distracted from
negative, unhelpful thoughts
In my experience, people are instinctively drawn to the images and colors that they need in their lives. One person might spend a lot of time in front of one painting, while another will meditate in front of another. The healing art I create is often of a rather large scale, enabling viewers to immerse themselves in the images, patterns and colors.
My original paintings have an intense energy due to the materials I use to create them. It is a totally different experience to view them on the website or as prints. However, these avenues are useful to allow many more people to benefit from the healing support offered by the images.
How I Got Started:
I never planned to be an artist! I was a corporate executive, completely immersed in that world. I was downsized nearly 6 years ago, and it was the best gift I was ever given. It allowed me the opportunity to explore my inner self and spirituality…which continues to this day.
I feel I have been very carefully guided to create this art. With no formal training, I began creating small sculptures that looked like little Universes. They just happened. I did not plan them or design them, they just came together to my great surprise.
I learned that the sculptures created a healing field from an intuitive friend (who knew?) and that each one has a specific calibration/vibration to heal a particular issue, such as balancing the root chakra, opening the heart chakra or cleansing the lymphatic system (which also works on the planet’s lymph system – the waterways). The sculptures started out simple with Styrofoam spheres and dowels and evolved to painted hardwood balls, metal and exotic wood bases.
Over time I moved into larger scale sculptures in concrete and began creating paintings and murals. Using metallic paint and glitter gives the art a unique luminosity and intensity. I also sometimes incorporate essential oils into the art to intensify a vibration or intention, such as joy, highest potential, abundance.
I paint in a meditative state, allowing the inspiration to flow from of my heart. Creating art has taught me to listen deeply to my intuition/guidance and to follow the instructions given in the moment. I don’t know what will emerge when I begin. I only know the color, brush and stroke as I actually do it. The results are always perfect, always a surprise, and always better than I could do with my mind in control.
Creating art has healed and transformed my life, been my teacher and opened my eyes to the unlimited potential we all have inside us.
I have learned it's ok to give up control
I have learned to be ok with not knowing everything
(actually, with not knowing many things!)
I have learned to expect surprises, and know that they will always be fantastic, even if they don't look like it at first
I have developed a deep vein of gratitude and awe
at the love and guidance available to each of us
I have developed tolerance and forgiveness
of self and others
I have learned patience
I am still learning
