This Sacred Earth

I love creating these small whimsical owls that are playful and invite me to step into curiosity. The owl is all about trusting our world and being able to see our life from so many different perspectives. This close-up moment of connection is all about trusting her world and the energy within this sacred space.
I get busy doing so often that I forget to take the time to pause and just enjoy and connect with my world. My daily walks help me to pause and step back into these connected spaces and remember that I am walking on this sacred Earth.

This little owl is connected to her world as she looks out at us in curiosity and wonder. She trusts her world and is at home in the flow of the space surrounding her. She does not need to be or do anything as she knows that this is a guided space. The moon is full and open and awakening something new in her world. The mist wraps around her, holding, welcoming, and supportive.

There is a deep sense of trust and flow in connecting to that inner wisdom that is intuitive and instinctual. This intimate moment within this art piece brings a sense of magic and energy that reminds us to pause and be present in the flow of the world around us.

This small round painting is layered with transparent details, gold leaf, paint, and storytelling that invites you into this world of magic and possibilities. The resin coating creates a beautiful flow of pigment colours creating a magical effect. The image wraps around the edges in this unique ready to hang art piece.

Bring a sense of calm connection into that special corner of your home as you connect to curiosity and wonder.

Cheryle Bannon – Melbourne Artist – I love to paint calm happy art as imagined impressionistic nature stories that bring a feeling of calm happy spaces for the heart and home. Art is meaning making as a path to understanding our world and finding our way back to harmony and balance.
Available for PAINTINGS, COMMISSIONS, PRINTS of selected artworks and whimsical mixed media sculptures.
I am a mixed media painter and sculptor and have always been involved in the creative arts. I taught art in secondary schools for 30 years alongside regular group shows. I have been a fulltime artist since 2018, exhibiting in both group and solo shows.
I have artworks in private collections both nationally and internationally. I have been an artist in residence working with disengaged youth and in a primary school cluster project.

My intuitive art process is inspired by the random beauty of nature, animal wisdom and birds as a guided process that is a way of making meaning in a world out of balance. I explore colour and light through natural images that inspire emotional connection to our stories through the natural world. Colourful mixed media images begin with symbols and words that build the feeling and energy of the evolving art story. Art as visual stories evoke a sense of peace and balance connecting us to our world. I view art as a meditative process that is mindful and healing. I paint in a variety of sizes using layers of colour, texture and form, using a variety of media such as acrylic paint or watercolour. Art is built through the layers, with a variety of mark-making, collage, inks, pastels, crayons, and resin. The layers create a depth that invites us into the story imagery that comes alive within the art. We enter these visual stories as a participant connecting to the energy and feeling of the piece.
My art is a way to pause and explore the layers of colour, emotion and story that are an, honouring of the Earth and her wisdom. through exploring the depth of our personal and global connected storied worlds. Art is an exploration of inner landscapes and outer worlds as a way to connect to those breathing spaces that remind us of balance and flow.
Every beautiful moment brings inspiration and opens us to connections to our own calm happy heart stories.
