Trees are in the spotlight of our counciousness more than ever these days with Fairy Creek reminding us of the few old growth stands remaining on Vancouver Island, with Native American culture’s urgently needed wisdom resurfacing and with biology’s new discoveries on the matter.
Many travel to the West Coast to meet with Creation’s wonders standing so tall and expressing such resilence and wisdom through the ages.
On Salt Spring, territory of the Saanich, Cowichan, and Chemainus First Nations we are grateful to be surrounded by a few remaining ancient beings, but a tree, no matter its age speaks the poetry of the island’s history, receiving knowledge through it's root system ‘brain’
Painting a tree is painting a great mystery that bridges between the earth and the sky- the earth mother and the sky spirit.
Painting a tree connects us to the earth’s spiritual intelligence.
Seeing, listening and feeling a tree opens a place inside that reconnects us to the language of Nature who calls us back home to her. In addition we are liberating the tree to live through the human heart.
