THE SACRED GROVE
MEDITATIONS FOR AWAKENING
This series of ‘tree of life’ paintings have been created to stimulate personal investigation and self-inquiry as well as to be beautiful and out of the ordinary. For thousands of years the tree has symbolised powerful universal motifs such as life, death, fertility and metamorphosis, and even the ensouled human being itself.
This ancient and timeless understanding of ‘the tree’ underlies the contextual foundation for these creative works. ‘I see my paintings as visual metaphors and empowering talisman that can be experienced as meditations, each exploring one of eight themes – Courage, Letting Go, Protection, Boundaries, Transformation, Karma, Renewal and Awakening.’
'I believe that each of these paintings offers a door, a pathway, to wholeness and to physical and spiritual agency in helping ameliorate the dehumanising pressures that assail us in these troubled times.'
Would you like to borrow one of these paintings? These paintings are not for sale; they are for loan. Whether you are an individual, group, community, organisation, school or venue. The idea is for these works to continue as conduits for self-discovery, awakening and personal exploration – and for creative workshops to continue to be facilitated in union with each piece.
