"The vision resides within, the soul seeks what already exists."

Living far from my home of origin can at times be challenging. I miss many aspects of what has been my life experience; my family, friends, a familiar community, creative inspirations from fellow art associates, and the scenery. Then there are those that I have met and formed soul companionship's with on the journey.
I have just recently had a visit from one of these beautiful souls in this far off land I now find myself living in. No matter how virtual this world may become there still is nothing in comparison to me than 'feeling' a pure physical hug of joy from another on a soul level. Our visit was not long enough, yet my spirit is so renewed from the moments we did have together. I am ever so grateful for these simple gifts life offers.
As an artist who paints through visions from within, I truly feel that each painting that comes from these visions already belongs to a soul that is just waiting to 'see' it. And I have had this experience confirmed many times observing the connection that some of my collectors and friends have had the moment they laid eyes on 'their' piece of art.

This piece was extremely personal to me and something I quite easily lost myself in during the process of its creation.
It was just these eyes that she fell in love with!

I am thoroughly honoured that she now has it in her possession and it has returned with her to my homeland.
This has been such a powerful experience on so many levels of my being......as an artist, as a friend, as a visionary, as a healer, as a human being and as an eternal soul.
So, onward to another vision and to another connection awaiting it's physical reality.
