​I have been creating art with various mediums for as long as I can remember.  I have experimented for years with numerous techniques to combine my love of different artistic approaches. The artwork presented in Journey Art by Danielle Wilkinson is an inspired collaboration; a creative solution that incorporates the meshing of traditional artistic techniques such as pen and ink drawing, watercolor painting and photography with graphic art and digital design. 

 

I see my artwork as weavings; weavings of different artistic methods as well as weavings of geometries and light.  The definition of photography is drawing with light (photo> light & graphy - to graph or to draw). Each piece, whether originating from a photograph or a hand rendered image, holds individual Light Code Activations.  These Activations can be found occurring naturally in nature as well as in geometric forms created by man. These ancient technologies, also known as Sacred Geometries, can assist its viewer in Overall Wellness. Symmetry promotes general relaxation and calming, aids in meditation and supports many other beneficial mental and emotional effects.  Research has shown that exposure to certain geometrical shapes can have a positive impact on cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and creativity. 

 

My artwork is meant to evoke inner growth, awareness and peace. Each mandala or symmetrical design has a way of drawing the viewer into the present moment and taking them on a journey.  This journey can be visual, personal, spiritual or all of the above!  

 

My message is We Are All ONE. 

My intention is to awaken this universal connection in all of us by creating these beautifully intricate images. First, we must remember the peace that is already within us and then our outer world will reflect that back to us. We are each a very special component of the Mandala of the ALL. Separation is an illusion. The truth of existence lies in this Universal Connection. The outcome of this remembrance is Unconditional LOVE for the ALL by the ALL.

 

Photography, drawing and painting are about capturing a moment; a moment in time or the emotion of a moment. Meditation is about being in the present moment.  Spirituality is about embodying gratitude for each and every moment. .

 

Every living being and creation is one.  We are all connected.  By taking a minute to recognize the binding spirit that resides in all of us, we can tap into that universal heartbeat.  The universal breath and rhythm that lives within all creatures and souls of this beautiful existence. 

 

Take a moment, stop, look, feel, breathe...
