‘𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝’ – 𝐀𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 (𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲)

“𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋 𝐀 𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔, 𝐀 𝐉𝐎𝐘.” 𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐈

The Canvas is a Metaphor for Life – Capturing conversations of the soul, with a visual language all of its own, accessing inner gifts of intuition, positive learnings and lived wisdom. Dancing with the Inner Critic and The Great Mystery, expressing itself through your hands, sticks, spatulas, palette knives, scratching, splattering, texturing with colour, rhythm, line, with the feminine journey of life, paralleled with cycles of nature, plus signs, symbols, archetypes, guides, Shamanic 7 Directions, Four Seasons, Gaia – messages from nature and our animal world, adding richness to an internal dialogue that cannot be expressed through words.
Elizabeth’s belief is “Life is definitely not a straight line, like the phoenix rising up out of the ashes, aware of our dark night of the soul, yet choosing not to live in it.
Sometimes we have to go through the worst, to get to the best. We are entering a new renaissance period of painting and she believes Art truly heals the world, by connecting us all together through the power of visual language and creativity bringing healing to our world.

* Have you ever felt you have higher potential than you are currently achieving in your Art /Life Processes, yet don’t know how to tap into it?
* Are you feeling a creative block sabotaging your highest potential and don’t know how to push through limiting beliefs and become friends with your Inner Critic and/or Inner Child?
* Are you achieving your goals, or is your Inner Critic keeping you stuck in an old comfort zone, that sabotages you with a repeating internal dialogue like ‘A Hamster on a Wheel?’
