All Seeing

All Seeing
Hand painted mandala
Acrylic on stretched canvas
50 by 60cm
As always, I sit with the piece on completion to discover it’s meaning. At first I see a physical eye within the mandalas patterns & then I hear a series of questions. What is ones full scope of vision? Does something exist when one cannot not physically see it? What more can you see?

The piece has me think of an all seeing eye. An eye that can see beyond physical reality. The piece draws me in with its patterns, like looking into a physical eye through to the soul. The piece has me think to look beyond what i see physically, to look beyond the guise. I have thoughts about how one can judge a book by its cover when in reality the cover is just that, a cover. Inside the cover, deep within the pages is the story, the juicy, intriguing part, hidden by the cover. The piece has me contemplate what do i “not see” when I look at my daily reality? What escapes me? What story am I missing out on? What would I discover if I took the time to look beyond what my physical eyes see? What do I miss when I look at reality, superficially, & fleetingly? Am I allowing the best parts to pass me by? Am I seeing life in all its colours?

The piece triggers many questions & in that a “re-membering”. It remembers or guides one to re-evaluate the way reality is seen…

I am an intuitive artist living in Tasmania. My art journey began in 2014 after experiencing several losses in my life. Art became a form of therapy, a space of solace, as well as a source of enlightenment. Seeking answers through art became a daily practice. It became my way of communicating with the unseen. I express what I receive in colour, shapes & word dialogue.
Creating art has become my greatest joy and form of inspiration.

I create inspired by inner visions, feelings, and ideas. This process activates an inner knowing, a curiosity, which I access though colour play, patterns, designs and shapes. As the art progresses I explore and express what I feel onto the canvas. The art is birthed piece by piece, each step, each mark born & expressed in the moment. I see each piece as a gift. Once complete I sit with it, and read its interpretation through visuals & internal dialogue. This way of interpretation brings insight, & clarity. It completes the “jigsaw” of colour and shapes. It is an important step of my creative process. Ive found that many resonate to the interpretation as much as the art itself… sometimes more so…

My style is for the most part abstract, yet at times it falls into other categories. Some see paradoxes within my style. All is intermixed in a way that leaves one wondering, and I feel this is by design, though not on purpose or with intent.

My art is an internal exploration. Each piece is a journey in self discovery. It explores infinite possibilities and landscapes. The act of creating is a dance with the unconscious, weaving into the physical colour and shapes,. I love exploring this inner world through my imagination.

I have no formal art degree. I create from a child like perspective, within a space of endless possibilities. There are no rules to follow other than to paint or draw in the moment what I’m seeing or feeling intuitively.

The insights I receive while creating art may be a little esoteric. That is my practice and journey as an intuitive artist. I create pieces that inspire an internal curiosity. I enjoy being in a state of playful wonder.

My goal is to create art that uplifts, enlightens and inspires curiosity.
