My work emerges from a deep need to find moments of peace and calm in an increasingly complex world. Through careful attention to colour relationships, compositional harmony, and the subtle interplay of forms, I create a meditative space that calms my own nervous system. This deeply intuitive and spiritually informed process of searching to find and express my own inner light results in sacred geometries, divine figures, compositions that explore the sacred balance between masculine and feminine energies, and a recurring motif of butterfly wings that symbolizes the ongoing process of personal and collective transformation. My artistic journey is a quest, constantly exploring, searching for the numinous. I am looking for bridges between the tangible realm and the realm of the soul.
My hope is that viewers might recognize and connect with their own inner light.
Each piece becomes an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember our innate connection to the soul of the world.
I live and create in Christchurch and Akaroa, on the South Island of New Zealand with my husband Bill, a photographer. I have been involved in ‘arty’ pursuits my whole life and attended two years of art school. I also study and practice yoga and am interested in the energetic principles of consciously generating peace and relaxation in our bodies.
Thank you for your interest, Cherie
