Art is My Delight
Creativity is essential for my well being as a sensitive woman living in this great time of change. I began painting Mandalas when I was 50 years old. With my first painting using vibrant acrylic paints I saw a river of color flowing into my being which opened a portal into my own unique voice.
I have painted for many reasons; to calm my nervous system, to contemplate, to create beauty, to connect with others, to vision, to integrate and to transform. Art is a master teacher.
I have facilitated painting experiences for 25 years. Many have opened their creative expression by beginning with the simple forms I have taught over these years. I love to watch the joy on the new artists’ faces when they break through the belief of “I am not an artist!”
A significant turning point in my life was becoming a facilitator of Intentional Creativity® in 2015, inspired by Shiloh McCloud. Her Colour of Woman training provided a wonderful framework to bring women together, to support growth, to honour the sacred while creating beauty.
In 2019 I wanted to learn how to hold one on one sessions so I became a facilitator in Flora Aube’s course the Art of Allowing. The “allowing” process is spacious and flowing; there is a generosity in this environment where each artist develops a beautiful relationship with her own divine feminine.
I am an ecosystem
I come from:
The earth, the beauty, the moon, the suffering, the uncertainty
where the life of forests and seas are my heart and prayer.
The unceded territory of the K’omoks and Pentlatch Nations
to whom I honour and remember.
A partnership of 40 years, a safe harbour to support our love for this earth.
A generous, mystical man named Michael
whose passion is for justice and the question of the moment that is always bubbling.
A small delightful family of a wise and caring daughter and a smiling granddaughter face.
I come from laughter, hope and faith in the future.
A caring soul that knows life is good just because they are here.
I come from a grateful heart for my teacher Thomas Huebl
who says “love is precision” and walks his compassionate talk.
I come from many who are showing up as heart warriors.
I come from life ever flowing.
I am:
I am a blank canvas of light created from vibrant colours
I am the beauty that unfolds layer by layer
I am not knowing how it all really works
and I am knowing that it doesn’t matter
everything is welcome here in this moment
and that my friends is called
presence.
