She is in charge of bringing harmony to relationships and helping humans trust their intuition…

This particular Angel uses the power of dance to weave her magic and when she sleeps the effects take hold.

The beauty of this painting is that it shows two aspects of the angel’s qualities depending on how it is hung. Sleeping on a crescent moon when the canvas is hung horizontally and dancing with her eyes closed when hung vertically.

Angel Dance is part of  the latter period of my Constellation Landscape series. It lasted for about 2 years in total and began with a limited colour palette exploring (through paintings and sculptures) a mystical place inspired by the prose I’m sharing with you below.

A Constellation Landscape

Leaving the castle behind her she entered the forest and followed the stars that twinkled through the branches of the trees, guiding her to a new place.

As she approached she heard humming, water, singing and laughter.

She saw an infinite blue sea beneath galaxies, particles of magic, green islands and trees made of stars

She saw carefree dancers moving in space full of joy and improvising with self-assured steps. They floated through fragments of light, kissing the stars and brushing them with the back of their hands as they passed them by.

This was where dreams came from and constellations rallied behind humans to help them manifest their desires.

Here creation boasted and spread out in abundance.

It was here that you discovered your true voice and the freedom to express your imagination in all its brilliance.

This was the place of miracles.
