The Chosen Ones | The Sacred Lives of Trees

After a whole collection of Sacred Tree paintings completed, which ones would be most admired, chosen and cherished?

Thoughout my exhibition tour, thesee were the ones most admired: 'Treedom', 'Evening Tide', 'Loves Light Upon Us' and 'Gaurdians'. Other paintings had more individual response from viewers.

My buyers chose differently during my launch event; 'Sacred Tree' was the first to be snapped up.

'Tree's Of The Golden Dawn' was next to be claimed, followed by 'Sacred Universe', whose owner was besotted before the painting was even completed.

I invite you to honour the natural world by enhancing your workplace or home with a colourful tree painting or print.

That Day In The Forest

That Day in the Forest

I remember that day in the forest,
Savouring a sense of pride,
After taking the leap of faith.

Called to honour trees, to give voice to others
Who silently appreciate their healing capacity in their own lives.
I could have ignored those nudges,
Too daunting to consider.
When I listened to my heart and took the plunge,
It felt right.

The Sacred Lives of Trees,
The biggest collection of paintings I'd ever created.
I was in the infancy stage of exhibiting my art work.
Once a teacher of maths and science, hah!
Leaving a secure job and career is not an easy thing to do.
There's no safety net when you pursue an artistic path
Courage is required.
But there is one surety,
Priceless riches of mind and spirit.

I remember that day in the forest,
Wondering who would come to my exhibition.
I’d already had a successful crowd-funding campaign
To generate awareness for my launch.
The support I experienced was tremendous.
It was like hearing trees talking back to me
Through the people who applauded my efforts.

That day in the forest, I thought about the adventure of it all,
The gigantic butterflies that had lived in my tummy for months,
Putting me on the edge of my seat.
The mystics said it was a good sign,
They called it ‘an opening'
An 'expansion of the soul'.
It felt like a never-ending fright.
I stuck with it and completed my mission.

Here I am standing in the forest,
Days before my exhibition,
With a lot of love in my heart,
Soaking up the positive energy of the adventure
And paying homage to
The Sacred Lives of Trees.

One dream, one leap of faith inspired by the sacred tree wisdom, and one truly grateful artist reflecting on the success that is 'The Sacred Lives of Trees'.

Tour Launch | 2016

The Sacred Lives of Trees exhibition tour launched at Carlow Library in winter of 2016.

This collection of colourful paintings is my way of paying tribute to the solace and wisdom I've received from nature and trees in particular.

I'd been accumulating ideas for this collectoin as far back as 2007. Timing is everything, I'm largely a self-funded artist. I've made my own luck through committment, diligence and being of service to others. It paid off.

Amidst global turmoil, visitors to the exhibition noted that now, more than ever, our connection with nature is vital.

Sponsorship & Homage to Trees

Through my social media networkings I attracted sponsorship and funding from wonderful kind-hearted people from far and near. People pledged funds in return for purchase vouchers, one business sponsored my invites, others promoted my event and a friend provided food for my launch. This was a demonstration of love for trees and appreciation for the work that went into to bringing this message to the fore.

Throughout all stages of my campaign and exhibitions I witnessed a homage to trees by people from all walks of life and some whom I had never connected with previously. Amidst global turmoil, visitors to the exhibition noted that now, more than ever, our connection with nature is vital.

The Sacred Tree paintings are finding their way into loving homes. My on-line gallery awaits new owners of paintings and limited edition prints.
