UNCONDITIONAL LOVE…. On this first trip to India I experienced so much love. This particular morning in Jaipur with the magnificent elephant caravan and the evening with the gracious Singh family showed me more examples of pure love. 1) We travelled by elephants to the top of the Amer Fort. It was so amazing to see the lovely scenery while swaying on the elephant carriage for the 30-minute ride. 2) The guides gently and respectfully steered the elephants with soft nudges of their feet or legs. 3) These elephants only work a few hours in the morning and then go home to their nearby living quarters (provided by the government) with their guides. 4) As soon as I saw the line of waiting elephants, I started to cry. And I didn’t stop until we reached the top. The tears were not from sadness but from this overwhelming sense of pure love coming from these magnificent elephants. Their unconditional love fully enveloped my heart and soul with such warmth. Their soft eyes were deep pools of ancient knowing. The baby elephants especially caught my eye and I wished to be matched with one. 5) We were paired with baby (20 years old) Mareeyah! She was so sweet and rocked us gently as we make the trek to the top. 6) The vibrant colors and designs on each elephant were so mesmerizing! I immediately thought about painting some of these designs. I will never forget these magnificent beings. 7) The evening concluded with dinner at the gracious Singh family home. We all helped to cook the delicious meal on the outdoor patio. So much fun and laughter! Egypt is a magical place for me. So much activation energy and love. And now India is also a magical place for me. #indiaislove #unconditionallove #elephantmagic #loveelephants #sacredjourney HAVE YOU EVER FELT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IN A NEW LAND

SACRED JOURNEY…. My trip a few years ago to Costa Rica was a pivotal time in my life. With the help of sacred shaman and Mama Ayahuasca, my soul was healed with this sacred journey. I began to love myself unconditionally AND I forgave myself. There were so many revelations this trip brought forth to my consciousness. And I am so grateful for this time of healing and transformation.

WHAT THE SOUL SEEKS…. During a time when I was at a crossroads in my life, I painted a set of twins: WHAT THE SOUL SEEKS and WHEN THE HEART SPEAKS.In the process of creating these beautiful and fluid paintings, I received messages from my guides. These messages manifested directly onto my paintings in lovely light language. I’m so grateful to have had the guidance to step into faith, leave the corporate world, and become a full time artist at the age of 58. Even though I had no formal art training, no art classes in school, and no previously strong artistic painting or drawing talent, I listened to Spirit to followed my heart song. And I’m so happy that I did!

RAINBOW PAINTINGS OF LOVE…Please join me and my rainbow paintings at the Capitol Hill Art Walk on Thursday, February 8th. Details are below.Rainbows have such a powerful healing energy that brings comfort, hope, joy, love and endless possibilities. When I was stressed as a child, I used my crayons to create rainbow after rainbow in a moving meditation. Just me, my crayons, and paper creating a private world of harmony and joy where everything was safe and calm. When I had my rainbows, all was right in the world. Rainbows still give me and people hope and comfort. I like that!I hope to see you at my event where my paintings are on exhibit and available for purchase.

MESSY BEGINNINGS…Sometimes my paintings start off as a hot mess as each layer moves and flows across the surface. A few times I wanted to give up. In moments like these, I put the painting away for several weeks or months. The Universe is patient, and it guides me back to my painting to continue when the time is right. And I’m ALWAYS glad that I listened to my spirit. Some of my most beautiful and mystical paintings have come from the early beginnings of a hot mess. Through the chaos, the beauty emerges. This painting is called THROUGH THE MOONGATE. She’s one of my original creations on exhibition and available for purchase during the Capitol Hill Art Walk on Thursday, February 8th. I’ll be at the Coldwell Banker Bain Capitol Hill office from 5pm - 8pm. Please join us, and see THROUGH THE MOONGATE.

LOVE LIGHT ORIGINS…This painting started because my hubby, Stan, gave me the most vibrant and beautiful bouquet of roses. They were my favorite coral and orange roses (Anna’s Promise). These flowers smelled so delicious!Each day I marveled at the changing beauty of the roses as their petals unfolded. Within each petal there was magic! They asked me to paint them with many different gold shades (six hues of gold!) and also to reveal their love language. Look closely at the some of the petals and you’ll see their love language. I’m grateful that Stan knows my love language!You can see LOVE LIGHT and over 33 of my original paintings at the Capitol Hill Art Walk at the Coldwell Banker Bain office. This painting has so much love and healing, beautiful energy to share with you. She’s ready to grace your home or office, and perfect for sharing your love language with someone special in your life.

INK MAGIC…Fountain pen ink and bleach have a beautiful chemistry. This painting is so organic as I never know what the bleach and ink will do as they dance and move together across the Claybord surface. When I create with fountain pen and bleach, I see a new universe appear with each ink drop. She is called PURE LOVE because she radiates love, beauty, and hope. You can read more about PURE LOVE on my website. And you can see her up close at the Capitol Hill Art Walk. Please join us for the Thursday, February 8th Meet The Art event at the Coldwell Banker Bain Capitol Hill office.

“LOVE IN BLOOM…”I created my “LOVE IN BLOOM” series during a beautiful Seattle summer when all the flowers were in full bloom. My art studio is nestled in our backyard garden, so I’m blessed by all the flowers surrounding me. During this three month period, I created 16 paintings ranging from 12“ x 12“ size to 36“ x 48“ size. This painting is called WHEN THE HEART SPEAKS. I painted her twin, WHAT THE SOUL SEEKS, simultaneously. You can read their stories on my website. My “LOVE IN BLOOM” paintings are currently on exhibition and for sale at the Capitol Hill Art Walk for January and February. Please come see these beautiful paintings at the Meet The Artist event on February 8th. I’d love to see you! *Meet The Artist*Thursday, February 8th- 5 PM to 8 PM *at Coldwell Banker Bain, Capitol Hill office @coldwellbankerbaincapitolhill @capitolhillartwalk @ampersand_art @sakuraofamerica @sakuracolorproducts @colirocolors @goldenpaints #botanicalart #botanicalpaintings #originalartforsale #capitolhillartwalk #capitolhillseattle #seattleartwork #pnwartist #filipinoartist #intuitiveart #channeledmessages #channeledmessagesoflove
THE TALE OF TWO SCARABS…I absolutely love the most recent commission painting I’ve just completed for my sweet friend/collector in Texas. I posted some teaser reels of my work in progress. The first image that came through after I laid down the background layers was this beautiful scarab. Another WA friend saw the scarab reel and wanted to buy the painting. Seriously. I gently let her know that the scarab was just 6% of a much larger painting, and the painting was already spoken for for my friend in Texas. My WA friend said the scarab spoke so strongly to her and gave her messages so she really wanted to have the scarab. So the next best thing I could do for her was to hand embellish a museum quality giclee print with her beloved scarab. I’m happy to say that the giclee print is just as stunning and compelling as the original painting! Both collectors are happy!When I finish a commission painting, and send it off to their new home, it’s always a bitter sweet moment for me. And when I have a subsequent request to hand embellish a giclee print of one of my original paintings, it’s like walking down memory land and holding hands with a long-lost friend.@hahnemuehle_global @jacquardproducts @noodlersink @uniballco @sakuraofamerica @ampersand_art #commissionpainting #gicleeartprints #scarab #egyptianscarab #mysticalpainting #sacredpainting #intuitiveart #channeledart #channeledmessages #filipinoartist #mysticalart #pnwartist
SUMINAGASHI ASSORTMENT…It’s always so much fun for me to mix and match different paint colors to create my Suminagashi original paintings. Each drop after drop of ink onto the water bath is like watching a mini universe appear as the rings create their own unique signatures. Please come see my Suminagashi paintings during the January and February Capitol Hill Art Walk at the Coldwell Banker Bain office Capitol Hill branch. I’d love to tell you more about these beauties. @capitolhillartwalk @coldwellbankerbaincapitolhill @jacquardproducts @goldenpaints #suminagashi #suminagashimarbling #originalpaintings #japaneseartwork #capitolhillartwalk #coldwellbankerbaincapitolhill #asianartist #filipinoartist #seattleartist #seattleart #pnwartist
