For many years now one of my passions has been painting and creating art forms through many different mediums. I find that creating and painting allow my expression to flow freely whether I’m using acrylic paints, pastels, clay, or pencil, and whether I am creating a painting, dream catcher, shield, necklace, wand, staff, or tool for use in ritual, healing and life.
Here are some of my favourite pieces and I am sharing them just because I loved the creative process of manifesting them.
Here is an elemental series I painted in 2005.

A rattle tray I designed to hold tools and rattles on my Shamanic Altar The poem reads as… “Spinning, Tumbling, Rolling Vibrating the atmosphere Calling to beautiful spirits And banishing those who fear Following the rhythm of our hearts Lifting the energy high Leading us away from reality Where Mugwort dances and Eagle flys’ |
| I have also had a go at spiritual drawing and psychic artistry and here are a few of the drawings of my spirit guides. (These are all pastel on paper) | |
