Artwork Description

Many years ago I had a wolf that visited me regularly in my dreams and would lead me out of danger. I had a lot going on with a sick mum and my own struggles with dyslexia. I felt disconnected and afraid but somehow this wolf gave me an unexpected sense of support and connection. This initial experience with dream animal guidance opened me up in new ways as l began to listen. Nature was one of the things that helped me find my inner balance and calm in the imbalance of the world outside. This was the beginning of me opening up to an intuitive path and creating what I have come to refer to as soul stories.
I believe deeply that we all have this intuitive guidance if we choose to connect. This sense of allowing and trust of the world is captured in this strong woman setting out on her next wild adventure...one of many.

There is a wild instinctual nature in all of us where we feel connected to the elements and our world. She is the ability to lean in and listen to the hearts' calling. She is guided by her wolf power animal and the bird whispering in her ear. She knows her desire and looks towards her dreams with a sense of determination and knowing.

This acrylic painting on canvas has textural collage details and radiates confidence and trust.
The image wraps around the edges of this mixed media story that is an invitation to trust your inner wisdom. She is the call to adventure and the open-hearted trust that leads your way forward. A perfect reminder of your inner strength and wisdom to showcase in your home.

Wild wisdom
I am the dreamer of dreams.
The one who knows
The Whispering soul

The wild wisdom musing
that inner calling
Instinctual wondering place

Calmly there, beside me
That whispered guidance
Setting me free

Artist Bio

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.
