All ideas, creations, deeds, and thoughts, are energy: and are part of a grand interconnected experience. I create in that space, knowing I have something to contribute ~
My creative journey started at birth, perhaps before. I came from a family of creatives: mom in many ways with sewing and crafts, and dad: as a design-builder, artist, and maker of playful sculptures.
We are the great transformation!
Although I loved most subjects, with the exception of history, art was my favorite. My education included a bachelor of fine arts with a minor in graphic design and photography: which led to nearly 30 years in the advertising industry. At no point in this journey was I separated from my love of nature and grand respect for all that is undiscovered.
artwork is a creative transformative portal
In 2008, I got the ‘message’ to switch gears and delve into more spiritual connectedness. I changed my intentions inward toward a personal creative phase of my life; painting, traveling, studying metaphysics alongside quantum physics, and questioning all aspects of being and expressing from a perspective of mind-body-soul-spirit-energy alignment. Paintings turned to the abstract and contemplative where I could more easily express the newer nuances and use my art for transformation.
I do not attempt to create images of the past ~ `i am far more excited about what is unfolding right now ~
Eventually, my paintings took on the full-time job of my own transformation and into the realm of assisting others along their journey. My art, photography, poetry, and insight offer deeper understandings, comfort, peace, nourishment, light, energy, and other uplifting gifts that are often understated and gentle, barely there yet powerful.
nourishing an energetic path with creation
And about the food! My food awakening journey began years ago when I was not well. The now famous and funny Dr. Berg was the one who introduced me to a true healing path through acupressure and nutrition. Miriam Wolf provided guidance on all levels, making connections to well-being everywhere and mentoring me all the while on how to become my own healer. I traveled to farms where they are still cooking their traditional foods in traditional ways to begin to learn more. (All this has become very trendy now) I earned my certificate in nutritional cooking from Monica Corrado. All along the way, I realized how much I had to unlearn in order to help myself and now others heal and transform.
I am feeding my creative spirit
What do I know now after years of un-learning and new learning? Food can nourish more than just your body ~ it will energetically support any cosmic gift that you have or want to explore and use to assist you throughout your life.
I love food that feeds my body and nourishes my soul!
I have adopted a high-frequency plant-based diet to assist my own transformations ~ my consultations and recipes are based mostly on plant-based solutions. PS, I feel GREAT!
transformation is creation ~ creation is transformation
If you signed up for the human experience, then you signed up to transform ~ to create or re-create. If I could wave a magic wand, I would transform the word “work” into “create” and see what would happen ~ Karin
