Pantomime 1, 2021. Acrylic and soft pastel on canvas.

I am a breast cancer survivor who has used affirmations, visualization and Reiki as a part of my healing journey. I paint to explore quantum physics and the power of belief for self healing.

The images I create are sort of talisman to connect to the vibration of the desired outcome. Reiki paintings combines art and science together, they are something you can direct your focus and positive intentions on for self empowerment. I sit in contemplative meditation, holding the subject in mind as if they are already in the desired outcome or state- healthy, joyful, triumphant, powerful. With this vision firmly in mind, I recite prayers and affirmations and begin painting, each stroke infused with loving, positive energy which calls the desired outcome into existence.
