The Paintings

After receiving my Masters in Reiki, my oil paintings took on a new hue and tone.   I began painting monochromatically on the triangular shape in 1996, after my son made me my first triangular canvas… although I had been painting since 1977, my paintings were average.  I did the normal landscapes, earth colors, trees, and mountains, lakes with nice reflections; the usual still life… the material world. I loved getting lost in the process, letting the creative juices flow and allowed my hand to dance to the music. My paintings evolved and had a relaxing and soothing effect on the observers. They ‘pulled you into them’ in a magical way, I discovered they had hidden spirit guides in the trees, the clouds; I was amazed as I painted to my favorite group, Enigma. The scenes flowed from my brushes onto the canvas with an ease that was free and filled with passion from my core being. I was painting my memories, my journeys out of body to other dimensions, ancient healing temples, places that were new to me, I painted into the wee hours of night when all was still and quite, painting… was, and is my passion. I added reiki symbols to my artwork, and then tried some special purple or blue lighting, always trying to capture what I saw in my mind, and get it on canvas, this was no easy job. It took me until 2007 using the new technology and a computer with a cool program, called Pinnacle Studio 11, my computer technology consultant told me about, he said this program is what I needed to achieve what I was trying to do. He was right, and my paintings evolved into the Mystical Soul Journeys… which brought them to life, and I then added the special effects I had been trying to create with a brush and oils, and added the mystical music from Anahata, a perfect combination of spiritually enhanced and inspired artists enjoying the freedom to create from our heart. (Anahata: means the heart chakra of the chakras) we were in sync, but on opposite sides of the planet. What evolved from this combination became the “Journeys”… I hope you will enjoy experiencing them as much as I enjoyed painting them and turning them into a Visual Meditative Experience for healing body, mind and spirit.
