How feelings become shapes

I am asked quite often how the artworks come to life - how feelings become shapes, how they glow Otherwordly, and how come some shine more ethereally than others.

As techniques I usually work with soft brushes and fine pen tips, a limited few and most often the same, that don't interfere with the flow of creation. 

Each artwork starts from a deep connection - tuning in to a guide, a realm, a story from beyond ages, allowing their energy to flow through me into the piece.
I try my best not to get in the way — allowing for what comes through to remain true to its own light and its own voice, staying with each thread until all of it has found its way into the container of the piece. Be a vessel that holds space.

Each story carries its own breath and spirit, its own otherworldly light, and some shine more etherically than others. Usually it is a very slow progress and it takes a long time to create something.

I think often people rush through things. There is comfort and gratification in seeing something appearing from within creation. Then the unpleasant phase rises: the confused chaos. It looks uncomfortable, messy, disengaging. That's when we feel lost,  inclined to stop, wishing to go back in time to a few moments before and give up.

But if we continue on the journey, stay with the uncomfortable feelings and walk across the confusing parts, we get to the good bit. We cross over to something lovely, that we did not think was possible and that would not have been possible had we stopped earlier.

Out of the 5 pieces, Arianrhod feels the most ethereal because she is.
