Anne Brierley @anne-brierley-7522 painter printmaker sometimes teacher Welcome Anne!

I so love the beauty of a stitched line. Also reframing what was traditionally thought to be women’s work by inclusion in contemporary media/art. I’d love to see what artists you all are looking at who do this. https://www.instagram.com/jackiemulder?stkn=MWJhY2lkd3A0ZnB0dQ==

Here’s a piece I was working on. I was struggling so much with the branches so the area got over worked. So I just erased it all back and put a very thin layer of pastel colours down. It made me so happy to erase it all away and I’ve been enjoying it more. With branches I can get lost in the details and then it becomes so stiff…or I just feel like they’re a bit out of my depth.To take a break, I started to build up another piece. Today I laid out a bunch of art books open to paintings with branches, to absorb some of their techniques 😆

Some of you have been with me since I shared a lot more spiritual/psychic development type of content. I don't do this anymore because there came a point where the business I had created was suffering - I was confusing my audience. My survival required a choice/focus. I was advised to focus on art, and ya know it felt like a bit of a relief to allow my magical experiences to be just mine again. That being said I experience the most interesting things day to day, and this one is relevant to our group. This morning I awoke out of a dream, and as I do I went right to interpreting it. I find I understand the symbols and message better in that state. I began to get help from my guidance in the form of clairvoyant images, like a character from my dream shown to me in a way that meant the difficulty was from my childhood. The next image, and this is why I'm sharing it ... was the floating head of Stephanie Weirathmueller !! I mulled over what the symbolism could be in this context and then it hit me! "Be gentle with yourself" And as I landed on the message the soles of both of my feet warmed to confirm. Stephanie! Your head will probably forever be my guide's symbol for this. Wow. To embody this message so clearly that your smiling face is an icon. Nice work!!! PS. 1. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday for Creativity Club. 2. New Offering: I have scheduled 4 events on the calendar over the next year to offer my assistance to you in professional development subjects: Bios/Statements and Website Review.
