Meet The Artist
As an artist and transpersonal art therapist, I find immense joy in creating art that fosters mental health awareness. My mission is to touch and improve people’s lives every day through my artistic endeavours.
From a tender age, I’ve been drawn to various artistic mediums such as mixed media, textiles, watercolour, and acrylic painting. Among my favourites is Sumi-e painting, which I learned by observing the techniques of painting from my talented Aunt, Susan Nette, an accomplished artist in oil, acrylic, watercolour, and a Sumi-e Master. Those formative experiences took place during visits to my Uncle’s farm in rural Victoria, Australia. Over the years, I’ve ventured into experimenting with textiles to create intriguing and quirky art pieces. Teaching art and crafts to diverse age groups at local community houses has been another gratifying aspect of my journey.
In recent years, I’ve embraced the practice of supporting clients with their individual mental health issues through the powerful combination of Transpersonal Art Therapy and Reiki. Guided by my passion for helping people, I aim to facilitate
transformative experiences and shift perspectives through the captivating personalities I breathe into my art.
Each personality I create emerges intuitively. They come to life without names until the flowing acrylic paint settles on the canvas. The pose, drips, and harmonious composition of colours serve as channels for intuitive naming. After the pour has
dried, I connect with the personality on a profound level, sensing its unique energy, which, in turn, reveals its name and the additional media it requires. To infuse positive energy and meaningful messages into these creations, I curate words from magazines that resonate with me on an intuitive level. These carefully selected words become uplifting statements that I incorporate into the artwork. However, not every personality needs these verbal expressions; sometimes, the pour of acrylic and its energy suffices to convey its essence and meaning wordlessly.
Yet, the process doesn’t end there. Once the personalities are complete, I embark on a quest to find the perfect base that complements their stories and messages. I take this decision seriously, recognizing the significance of grounding each
personality’s message. To achieve this, I craft live edge resin art bases, a meticulous process that takes two to three weeks per base. Each piece of wood carries its symbolism, carefully chosen to align with the personality’s essence. Finally, the time comes for the personalities and their bespoke bases to unite.
A magical merging occurs as they become one, bringing forth a compelling fusion of artistic expression and profound significance. This union represents the culmination of my artistic vision, where each personality stands as a testament to the beauty and depth that art can bring to our lives.
