Symbolically, these paintings represent the world of the striving human being and embody an enhanced soul state. As we contemplate these works, the soul can become like a colourful garden that we tend to and re-enliven. They seek to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind into an imaginative awakening. They embody the tenets of truth, beauty and goodness – ideals that encapsulate high human endeavour.

I was inspired to create these thematic apperception* card-sets
whilst working on my current series of paintings called The Sacred Grove | Te Uru Tapu.
I use these card sets in group work and with individual clients as a means to deepen one’s relationship to a particular theme. The chosen card can become like a visual talisman that resonates long after a session is over.
The bottom four images show the cards being used during a Creative Mindfulness Session with the staff at the Mary Potter Hospice in Newtown and during one of our Alamandria Creative Mindfulness Workshops.
*Apperception derives from the Latin ‘to perceive’ – working in this way is about making the unconscious conscious.
