22.01.2022 Today I put the finishing touches on 'Delilah', my latest Spirit Painting. She is for a very gifted sorceress, to remind her of the magic of her ancestors. A black snake and a moth crossed my path shortly after this reading, so it was a reminder for me too watch your step when there's magic afoot!
21.01.2022 As is often the case with my Spirit Paintings, things are being woven in the unseen, long before I sit down with pencil and paper... the very same day of this reading, in which I saw a beautiful dark haired woman in an embroidered cloak, a shiny black snake and brown moths fluttering in the moonlight, I was walking my dog along a fairly high-traffic trail along the Kiewa river and... nearly stepped on a shiny, young, black snake!! I saw it’s gorgeous scales in the grass like ...wet, glistening molasses... it was so beautiful and potent with magic! Later that day, a rare Bogong moth landed on my bedroom window. So... as I paint this intricate scene, I allow all of these energies, snake and moth medicine to flow through. My intuition tells me that this Spirit Painting is going to become a powerful talisman for a very powerful witch (and fellow artist!) I know. I feel rose quartz, smoky quartz and celestite need to be placed by this one... wherever you choose to hang her! #spiritpainting #bogongmoth #magicmama #spell #talisman #akashicrecordsreading #artistsofinstagram #blacksnakemedicine #kundalini #oraclecards See more

19.01.2022 ‘Delilah’ my latest Spirit Painting is going in the post today. I feel almost a little sad to see her go... so much energy and emotion is imbued in each piece and I get so attached... but I know she is going to a good home. p.s. I’m all booked up until August now for Spirit Paintings!! Still a few days left to book at the current price and then there will be a June 1st increase. Thank you all for supporting my passion, my gift and my soul’s calling. Love you all xx
16.01.2022 You can feel the more sombre tones of Autumn creeping back into my work. I’ve only just noticed that my inspirations and colour palettes change with the seasons. Guess that makes sense for a witch #artistsoninstagram #colourpalettes

06.01.2022 I am a supreme Light framed being Who leaves ferrari's In the dust I am sorry for your ... Jealousy as I am Totally terrific And love wearing My fabulous coat Fiercely independent I Imprint the air with My personal spots My proud individuality Nothing out of reach I wait for something to inspire As I hunt lightly Positioning intelligently And quickly Pads on fire I grab the ground As I grip the world With the sharpest claw As evolving and revolving Forces compel me with desire My vibrant cells flicker Waiting for the right trigger Spinning and twisting They collapse into air As I rush and rush chasing and chasing My focus still like stone Lands lightly like a feather As I am clear as Diamond or glass Empty of thoughts I am a tunnel The wind blows through As I run and run Soft and agile I can quickly change Direction or pace Perfect balance my Tail acts as a fulcrum It is as though a Silver thread was attached From high up in heaven Moving on an electric circuit I am lightning through the air Stretching like elastic Expanding into spaces I become a mile long Reaching and Reaching Into proud new places Slipping through the air As though someone Had oiled my hair I slide weightless Air born on ice skates As I catch my hare With her swiftness We find she lifts us With her fire we catch desire Adam Childs, #cheetah
05.01.2022 After 3 years of creating these magical 'Spirit Paintings', and working my way through a long waiting list from 2020, I am pleased to announce that I'll be opening bookings again for July. If this is something you have been dreaming of for a while, now is the time to book in, as I will be raising my prices on June 1. After calculating the many hours I put into these pieces (all those tiny, intricate details with a teeny-weeny brush!) I will be increasing my prices to better reflect just how much time, love and energy goes into each one ultimately making them the most special, beautiful and unique gift ever!
