Title:
Healing Heart
Artist: Lyn
Laudenberger
Media: Mixed media: pastel pencil, gold ink,
and glue
on foam board, 25" x 19"
Process:
This was my final art project for the Igniting Your
Intention-Level 1,
which I finished December 2001. My intention was, " I want to create
daily".
The hand, heart, symbols and the 7 chakra colors had
all surfaced
throughout the 28 days in my drawings. I decided to merge them
into one final art piece.
As an artist, I enjoy mixing color with words. The
combination can
be quite empowering. I was inspired by the quote, "what you
focus
on expands". From there I drew a heart expanding with the 7
chakra
colors and a hand touching the center. I added the energy symbols
as a whimsical touch. Last came layers upon layers of white tissue
paper to give the piece a muted dream like effect which also created
a lovely, soft texture.
Message:
What the image means to me. When I began the
session, I was an
artist with a creative block. It was a very profound six weeks of
peeling away layers within myself. By the end, I realized I was
liberated! In this piece I feel the message is, "through
positive
thought we can heal ourselves as well as visualize and manifest
the dreams and desires we have hidden within........... our inner
voice of wisdom is waiting for us."
About My Art:
I have been studying meditation, the power of color,
and the
chakras to enhance my creativity and my artistic spirit has taken
flight. This was the first art piece which began my artistic
vision.
I am creating healing art. I use
affirmations and quotes that inspire
me, surrounded by a collage of color. Music supplies a
wonderful
vibrational energy and I meditate before beginning each art
piece.
The music, thought, words and color combined have a healing energy.
I hope my work will bring light to a person's soul.
My 8x10 healing art will soon be available at
several new age shops
in Connecticut. I also am interested in doing commissioned work
for
anyone who has a quote or affirmation that inspires them. I can be
contacted via my e-mail address: flowerpowerlyn@aol.com
In Gratitude:
I would like to acknowledge and thank my classmates,
Lorraine and
Sharon for their insight......what a wonderful journey of creativity
we shared each week!
Each month as I enjoy and am continually amazed by
the artists and
their artwork Mary displays on her website, I feel we are all so
blessed to have been given this opportunity to be a part of the
various
workshops Mary offers. She empowers our souls.
A very special thank you, Mary Gravelle!
