Healing Art

The last few days the highs and lows of the world feel like they've been swirling within my body, mind and spirit. A fiery creative energy has been beckoning me from my heart, telling me to make a series of healing altar collages to address parts of my life that need healing and activation.

I have been collecting all sorts of materials for the last seven years. I saved tiny fabric scraps of the most delicious textures and colors, broken and tacky jewelry, magazine clippings dating back to my high school days, little shells, stones, tiny plastic animals. After years of housing these promising treasures, storing and moving them, justifying to myself and others that someday they'd be turned into glorious art, yesterday I surrendered to my internal crafty voice. It told me that each element I touched, was completely meant for a purpose: To manifest healing and release through its presence, through my art. Love, gratitude and trust in my past self came pouring from me while I worked. I thanked myself and each piece I used for it's energy and inspiration to make this wonderful art.

I created three collages yesterday. One for spiritual activation, astral guidance, transformation and healing. One for abundance, prosperity, and creativity. And one for passion, magic, sensual metamorphosis, courage and acceptance.

There is so much more to say about each piece, which I may add later. For now, please enjoy the photos.


Each piece is made on a cardboard box top (17'' x 13'') Later I'd like to describe the story of each treasure I used, as they all have interesting ones and it's just perfect that they all ended up where they are. It's as if someone planned for all this to happen....
