Hi, and a very warm welcome.
What led me to do this type of artwork.
For me it all started in my training in becoming a reiki master. I made a commitment to bring about healing to as many people as I can. This mission made me realise that I needed to reach out to more people than just doing hands on hands healing. A number of my reiki clients would remark how peaceful and relaxing my own home was and they too would like the same environment in their home.
Healing comes in many forms, and art has been used for centuries in many cultures to bring about the feelings of calmness and peace. This led me to create artwork with a specific purpose to bring healing and wellbeing into an environment.
How Reiki Energy is infused into my artwork.
I start each piece of artwork using the same practice as conventional hands-on reiki. I set my environmental to give healing and do my intentions and grounding procedure. I ensure my mind is clear of expectation and proceed with an 'open mind'. With a clear intention, Reiki energy is then poured into everything, from preparing the paint, making the symbol, to choosing the size, colour and symbol itself.
The meaning of the Cells and Symbols in my artwork.
I love the element of creating cells in my artwork. To watch the cells form is a wonderful experience and brings to me the blessing that is the gift of life. This is why I call them 'the cells of living life'.
Symbols have been used by man for centuries to give a simple representation as a mark or character to convey meaning, identity, and messages without words. In a second hand book store in Guildford, WA I came across the book Zibu The Power of Angelic Symbology by Debbie Zystra Amstedt. I was captivated by the words "Zibu symbols open up energetic portals for Heavenly transformation." - Angel Zephyrine. I knew instantly I was being guided to use these symbols in my artwork. Paintings are generally considered to be used by our visual senses. I have purposely raised the symbols in my artwork to allow the artwork to also be experienced by touch.

Here are just a few of the many ways that art heals:
Art Lowers anxiety and stress. Just looking at art can be healing.
Art Generates New Solutions. The more you look, the more ideas reveal themselves, whether the art is simple or complex. It takes time and patience to find, examine, and consider the endless options art offers.
Art (Both Making It and Looking at It) Can Have a Role in Therapy. Psychologist Cathy Malchiodi, in her book The Art Therapy Sourcebook, writes that art therapy is “a modality for self-understanding, emotional change, and personal growth.” Art is therapeutic and calming, it helps you calm distracting, negative, and unhelpful thoughts, and that it gets your hands and body working as opposed to only your mind.
Art Helps Us Deal with Difficult Situations. Art enables us to show and express our feelings and emotions.
Art Builds Safe, Meditative, Imaginative Spaces. Creating an environment for relaxation and wellbeing.
