Give your Self to the Whole with Joy

In integration of my creative process on the soul art journey I was invited to by Laura Hollick this year in her live stream with over 12.000 people around the globe signed up, here are some of my reflections…

What Inspired me to do a Soul Art journey?

What inspired me was the invitation from Laura to creating together with so many creative souls in a collective wave. I felt a tickling to play with colors and charge my creative batteries with the joy of connection.

How would I describe my creative process?

Having attended many SoulArtDay events over the years, this time was different in the way that I spend a good amount of time to prepare and tuning into my intention. I created a Channeled Drawing to tune into the energy of the day – a day before the event. It showed me the “face to face with space by a huge guide and growing seeds interconnected with their roots). I also gained so much clarity in the process of finding my intention through Laura’s guidebook.

I was invited to create in the Live Stream together with Laura and fellow featured artists that I have had the pleasure to create with before in person which rekindled my joy to co-create and infused my intention to align with the Joy of Connection. My creative waves of excitement just flowed onto the canvas with neon bright colors and shiny metallics flying off the canvas.

Before hand I had traced the outlines of my hair as I have lost a lot through the virus (the hair are also fine antennae for connection) and I painted the symbol of the heart on the canvas to symbolize my intention to align with the joy of receiving love and affection in relationship.

Initially it was a bit strange to be feeling “watched” by a large audience in my creative process, but it also gave me the fuel to surf this creative wave to the fullest and without much thinking about it. I became very infused in the wave and almost did not hear Laura inviting us back to the screen to share our insights and our experience. My mind was pretty blank or unable to make sense with words yet… and it took my a while after this live event to feel a sense of “me” as I was so immersed in the creative wave of I think 12.000 people who signed up for the event.

I continued to refine my painting in the coming 2-3 days surfing the wave to the end. I received much insight in writing, reflecting my process after I came back to my “mind”. :)

 

What insight did I receive from my Soul Art?

“Give your Self to the Whole with Joy”

The joy of connection feels ecstatic. It can feel like a death of Self and perhaps uncomfortable at first with the mind having no identity to hold onto. But joy is a pure feeling requiring of being “out of your mind.”

I feel my process is also reflecting a collective calling … a tuning into how to be a joyful puzzle piece of the whole image. After we spend much time to figuring out who we are as an individual and why we are here – it is time to realize what our joyful place of contribution to the community, to the culture and to the planet is. The many dots of paints in my painting perhaps represent all of us… each in their creative power place contributing to the whole symphony.

Personally it gave me insight why I may often hesitate to fully give myself in connection with others out of the fear of loss of identity, which was so healing to regain after trauma. But I understand that I am ready now to let “it” go again – knowing I am not loosing my Self but give my Self to a bigger intention out of love and trust in the Whole.

What is the most important thing I want share about my Soul Art experience?

After 2 years of collective isolation a feel a burst of collective reconnection with joy.

Shifting my focus on the JOY of connection and less on the overwhelm in feeling everyones feelings as an intuitive is a major key in coming more out of my safe bubble again and again. The joy felt in connection to each other as human beings is so very powerful!

Thank you Laüra Hollick for your invitation to this journey, radiating from your own power place in the collective and hosting this event together with Kevin with so much grace, love and presence.

 

It’s that magic time of the year again.

On July 28, 2022 Laüra Hollick is hosting her “International Soul Art Day” – when thousands of people gather from around the globe to create art together for the day. The vortex of energy that is stirred up on this day is palpable.  Through the energy of the collective gathering, everyone’s creativity is lifted to new heights. It’s extraordinary!

There is nothing better than the feeling of your soul’s truth moving through you. That’s why I love Soul Art Day…

You can join in for free when you sign up here: SoulArtDay.com

This year marks the 10th anniversary of #SoulArtDay and I had the pleasure to participate a couple times and even create in Laüra Hollick‘s Studio in Canada. I’ve taken Laura’s courses in the 2010s and always loved her creative inspiration and guidance. I created over 2 dozen Channeled Drawings for Laüra personally, her business and SoulArtDay Groups over the years. I’m so grateful for our creative connection and modeling the way for artists to find a prosperous place in the world. 

In preparation for the BIG DAY I’m getting the creative juices flowing doing another Channeled Drawing to tune into the energy of the BIG Day tomorrow. 

My pens are picking up a big face to face and embrace with a mysterious guide from beyond while sparking roots and new growth…

Well that does sound great, doesn’t it? Watch the creative process here in this time-lapse video:

Do you feel the blues in the winter?

When it is gloomy dark outside, no sun, no snow and light seems far far away I’m often hit by a seasonal depression or low energy and not feeling much of a natural life force. Winter. Blues.

So what can I do when outer sources of inspiration aren’t available as much? Blues is also the answer.

I have found experimenting with fluid acrylic colors especially bright shiny ones brings back my joy. The process of intuitively pouring colors together on the canvas and see what emerges is a strangely energy charging process. Already buying and picking colors can be invigorating.

Each color has a specific frequency and when our own frequency is a little subdued – colors are such a great tool to raise it, frequency, mood, health, joy!!! I am especially loving neon colors, interference colors, metallic colors, pearl… all of those hold very specific light frequencies.

Often I don’t like the end results of the fluid paintings at first – some I have to leave alone to dry and then I look at them in a different light! But the actual medicine and excitement I really find in creative process itself less the end results… tho if it so happens I come to love the painting it instantly refreshes me again. And sharing the creations online to others is a joyful process as well.

So if you find yourself a little blue, use blue colors or anything to color your winter! It works miracles. It can be flowers or looking at art as well. Whatever you feel inspired to.

Though spring seems far away … playing with colors I can connect with the life force of spring and feel energized in-midst the beauty and depth of sobering winter.

Stillness is a gift but change is inevitable. Life force is stirring in many forms and celebration of life is always a good idea no matter the quality of days we find ourselves in.

First year I even recognize there is a keltic holiday called IMBOLC – celebrating the wake of spring in-midst deep winter…

So happy Imbolc!

Here are a few impressions of my latest experiments in fluid art. Unfortunately the camera can’t recreate the neon color light… but imagine oranges and yellows and pinks be very bright. More of it in the gallery here.

 

 

Last summer I ventured out into different territory and exploring art from a bit more linear perspective than I usually do. My good friend Heidi Schwarzkopf offered a “Free Mandala” summer class that I really enjoyed.

First I did struggle with the “thinking part” the logic, the precision needed to construct geometrics… however after some frustrations were passed through I really enjoyed the depth and meditative energy that I experienced created the art pieces. Of course I included some un-predictible intuitive aspects of watercolor backgrounds and structures. It made it all magical. And I explored still intuitively where the lines wanted to go, which fields wanted to be filled… so many possibilities and unique interpretations.

In one of my main pieces I wanted to explore what happens when 2 toroidal spheres meet and create a 3rd field – like 2 hearts meeting. And I was more then pleased, surpriced and honored to see what depth and alignment appeared. I also enjoyed using the interference colors for the extra shine and magic.

Since then I am just getting so much joy out of combining the more masculine approach of construction with the feminine intuitive flow.

The last piece I put my new glitter water colors to test and created a piece in time for 2020 Solstice + Saturn/Jupiter Conjunction – a ring of celestrial bodies – lighting up.

All art works are available if you want a piece of magic to uplift your environment. Just send me an email to inquire prices.

 

 

I am very fortunate to be part of Ilan Stephani’s creative team as creative brand directress. Creating web design, online course & product images, book covers, photography and so much more, I have been able to grow in my creative leadership this year.

One of my most favorite activities is doing photoshoots with Ilan. She is such a natural to create expressive & revealing portraits with. The portraits below were created during a rare event in this Covid lockdown year – a live somatic retreat near Berlin – namely “Flirting With Freedom”.

 

 

If you like these images – there are more of Ilan and other beautiful souls to view here in the Gallery.

One of my newest creative adventures to keep my creative juices flowing and spirits alive during Covid times, is experimenting with fluid acrylic painting mediums – resulting in an ongoing new series I call »Inner Landscapes«.

As I have also gotten more deeper into fascial release exercises with the foam roller to release stress I find it interesting to see the cells created through the pouring technique looking so much like the inner cell structures of the fascia tissue on a micro level. Some of the paintings remind me of outer landscapes like trees, mountains and river beds. I guess the lack of travel adventures has got me fantasizing it on canvas.

If my playful color experiments can be called abstract art – I don’t know. But the process of creating them is highly exciting, uplifting, joyful and pleasurable and a wonderful way to charge creative batteries and moods during these bizarr times.

All paintings (as indicated) are available if you want a piece of joy to uplift your environment. Just send me an email to inquire prices.

Also check out the growing Gallery here. More are added weekly.

This fall I did another of my infamous 30 Day Channeled Drawing Challenges with a group of people. And as with all the Challenges so far new dimensions of my expression reveal themselves.

This time it all fell together after the Challenge when I put together all 30 Images and in my library found the self portraits that I created during this time as well. So I just sand”witched” them together in one of my iPhone apps and voila. Totally in love with this new dimension bringing photography and Channeled Drawing together like this.

Channeled Drawing of the day: it reveals the integration, activation and expansion of a session I had today with my colleague Samiel Carolina. She guided me into my creatrix center the womb and specifically the right overy called for my attention. She represents the attraction energy in the creative cycle… this drawing further enlightened me about the need for structure, support, safety and #boundaries in order to rest, let go and open to #receiving. During the coloring I could feel there was like an activation of gene keys happening. The outer rings also feel like a stargate that gets activated with the filling of certain segments of it. And in the end a very firm divine feminine energy was manifesting in the outer rim like a moon shape? – very protective. I just love the expanding energy and the colors of this drawing…

Todays drawing surprised me with its vulnerable innocence yet strong feminine mystical presence. I was asking for guidance a personal issue and the appearance of this drawing , in what it shows but also how it manifested reminded me to be gentle to my heart and strong in my presence – honoring the divine determined force in myself that enables me to surrender in moments I would rather call out my warrioress or collapse completely. The energies present for me are sacred humility, self honoring, vulnerability, love, deep knowing trust.

In todays drawing appeared 2 spirals that are connected and seem to be complimenting another – like a feminine and masculine aspect of something that belongs together or is of the same source. The glowing centers are like the core essence of each radiating in their space – one more to the left the other more to the right. And the well of drops or watersourounding or coming out of this. Perhaps its water of life, or some emotions being processed in the purification of the two. An anciant code connects the 2 spirals. Feels very powerful to me.

Today in the drawing appeared a moon-sun. i love how the ? moon shaps into a sun ☀️uniting the feminine and masculine in this symbology…. Everything else seems pretty clearly revealing itself. It’s a reflection of a liberation journey, revealing the pure and raw woman within daring mire to be seen in her essence. Hiding as part of this process …

I am continuing my (almost) daily channeled drawing practice again after a few years of only doing commissions and here and there personal channelings for myself or in group I taught. And I am totally enjoying the enlivening effect it has in my life right now. Truly the creative flow and the daily guidance is getting a refuel and deepening in trust and joy.

Today we have the full moon energies in an very intense emotional fueled sign: scorpio plus this moon – in the buddhist tradition (which I actually at some point in my life ordained in as a lay practitioner) – the birth/arrival of the Buddha is celebrated. They call it Vesak. So pretty promising!

So without even trying to interpret anything based on astrology and history… (not my thing) I just felt into myself sourcing my rather intense emotions today and so I asked for guidance in a personal matter.

My drawing surprised me with its vulnerable innocence yet strong feminine mystical presence. I received guidance not only from what shows figuratively in the end but also the way it manifested rather quick, simple and determined. It reminded me to be gentle to my heart and strong in my presence – honoring the divine determined force in myself that enables me to surrender in moments I would rather call out my warrioress or collapse completely. The energies to amplify in me are sacred humility, grace, self honoring, vulnerability, love, deep knowing trust when it comes to facing this personal issue.

Just looking at the image now I receive a clear energy transmission that builts on my core. So grateful for this gift manifested through me. Hope you enjoy watching the process in the video.

Here is the image as well.

Channeled Drawing Guidance for May 1, 2017

I restarted my channeled drawing practice for personal guidance and connection again and sharing these 2 process videos with you here.

The first one reveals the spring vibes that are so present now with all the fresh greens and rich blossoms everywhere. Truly delightful how it raises my creative energy.

Channeled Drawing Guidance for May 2, 2017

For this drawing I had an intention to explore more about my “money honey” – understanding my money flow. The drawing isn’t super attractive as art but that’s not what this is about. it’s super interesting how the creative process revealed so much insight… starting with lines and structure then weaving in flow, nurturing drops & streams, growing leaves ? and roots, connecting to networks – turned into an entire self sufficient eco system… ? In the end the coloring also revealed through the pink color – that money’s purpose is all to nurture love – infuse love ❤️!!! How wise… and seriously, I didn’t think about anything while drawing! All reveals itself as I’m letting go of pre-thought images and concepts! Cool right?
