"The spiral pathway back to the Goddess, the Divine Feminine spark that harkens back to the source of all creation, is multi faceted. We journey to new levels of remembrance and connection through many mediums, including art. @mariaperryartist , voluminous gratitude to you and your craft-you are a creative visionary, whose ability to be present, open and vulnerable, allowed me to see into and bring light to some deep recesses within. This aspect of the Goddess, is so familiar to me and gazing into her eyes brings me home." "I love how the class kept building upon itself. When I thought there couldn't be anything possibly left to do to the picture, Maria would offer a new exercise which allowed another aspect of my creativity to express itself and my piece as a result kept getting juicier! My awareness of being playful with the brush and allowing the creativity to flow without being concerned about the end product was a pleasant surprise for me. I am inspired to continue the same approach of being in the joy of play with other aspects of life and appreciating the journey versus the focus on the destination." |
“Maria led me through a very precious and gentle, but powerful, process to create a painting of the deva of my new home. I really appreciated how sensitive she was in knowing when to pause and allow me to take in each step. As a complete painting novice, this helped me to relax and allow what needed to emerge without judgement. At the end of our sessions, Maria asked me what I could see in my painting. And looking out at me was my whole spiritual lineage – all my lifetimes experienced as a felt sense in my body. Not at all what I was expecting to feel or experience, and immensely comforting and supportive.” "Maria is a compassionate teacher who truly listens and engages with your intentions. Her gentle and grounded style made it easy for me to make that first stroke on the canvas and supported me through my inner critic. Her sessions are truly transformational!" "I loved the journey of this process. I look at my painting and it reminds me to find my voice and open my heart...live that." |
