A Self Healing

I want to talk a little about how my paintings enhance wellbeing. In my career as an artist and teacher I have completed a lot of research into the therapeutic nature of colour. There is plenty of evidence in historical, religious and psychological contexts which demonstrates that specific colours resonate with particular emotional states and can spark expressive and physical responses. On that basis and through the intuitive process of reading the symbols in my cards, I compose works for people that activate an emotional state that I sense requires expression or completion at the time of the reading. My intuitive reading of the cards helps me sense an emotional unevenness in the person at the time and suggests to me the colour therapy and the personal story in the symbols. I did this painting for my own wellbeing.
