A series of paintings that depicts each one of the 7 chakras in the form of the Feminine. Focusing on the aspect of the chakra color, each painting incorporates a combination of paper, fabric, glitter, stones, beads, flowers and feathers – further illustrating and delineating subtle hues and tones within each color and its vibration.
The Butterfly symbolizes transformation for me, my own transformation, but also my messenger of spirit….it is my totem. Sometimes I use it at the chakra point and at other times I use it where I intuitively feel it should be. At the bottom of each painting is the gemstone or crystal associated with that particular chakra and color energy. I have placed this gemstone next to my signature. I hope that this small gesture completes the story of each color and its healing messages.
