My artwork is intended to connect and support on many levels. I live and work - as we all do - in the realm of the symbolic. I love to be in that place of feeling, where the depth of what we are experiencing is profound, beyond what we can even understand.

My hope is that an initial attraction to something I have created can take you even further to find support where you most need it.

I have found plants and animals to be friends and teachers for very specific, nuanced emotional experiences. We can interact with plants, for example, on a physical level, but we can also find in them the support we need for our emotional bodies. The many elements of nature can help us gain awareness, feel validated, and give us a wider perspective so we can move through emotions with acceptance and compassion.

For those new to the concept of essences of the natural world, I recommend Googling your favorite flower, or one that keeps showing up everywhere you go, plus the term “flower essence.” You might find yourself pinpointing a feeling you couldn’t quite figure out or releasing a big wave of emotion which was waiting to be “heard.”

Connecting with all of the beings of this Earth has gifted me the feeling of not being alone - both in becoming aware of the commonality of our experience as sentient beings and in receiving the reassurance that there is support just in being in the presence of a particular flower, stone, animal, or element of nature.That it was never about you. That we are all in this together.

I wish the same - and more - for you.

With love,

Alicia
