Welcome

‘inspiring serenity and beauty in life’

I love creating inspirational artworks, running transformational workshops or retreats, and writing for my blogs and newsletters. I have been an artist since high school and am a trained art therapist. For over 30 years I have been teaching yoga, qigong, sound healing, colour healing and energy works, bridging the physical and spiritual worlds.

I am deeply connected to the Divine within, and to nature in all it’s beautiful forms. Creating from these wonders while sharing my knowledge with others inspires and uplifts me. This provides the desire to acquire more self- knowledge to share.

I use meditation, rituals, ceremonies, chants, sound, and colour in my life and I also use these in every painting I create imbuing the artwork with positive energy. I love sharing my knowledge on art and self-nurturing with others so that they too can enhance their lives.

If you love artworks, workshops, retreats and self-nurturing look around my website!

Art Therapy Transformation

Art therapy sessions help release your emotions & feelings in a gentle way where the process of creating anything at all, helps to unlock your sub-conscious pain, abuse, trauma, fears, desires, and wishes. This method is really a message from your soul allowing insight about yourself and your challenges or desires in life. Once we have insight, we can move forward to another space or place in our journey.

Something so refreshing about your paintings, Maia. They invite a cleansing moment to calm and heal, then be on your way till you return again. There is a strength and a simplicity there. Your paintings offer stillness in the wind.
