Description 'My Love, I am so sorry. In my pain and disconnection from my Heart, from my Light, I hurt you, and I hurt my Self. My Journey has been painful, and I have made choices that continue to teach me deep lessons. You opened your heart, your soul, your rare and precious Light, to me, and I ran from you, unable to to open my heart, my soul, my rare and precious Light to my Self, or to you. Although I am not able to take your hand in mine, as we both dreamed, your Light has touched me, it has pierced the fog of pain and denial I shroud my Self in. And as I step upon this Journey, that Light is a beacon, a reminder to me, that somewhere deep inside, beneath all the armor I needed to survive the battle my life has been, is a Soul that still holds Beauty and Light and is Loved. You showed me that. You have given me the most beautiful gift I have ever received. Someday, I pray, that I will grow to know and Love the Light within my Soul, and walk from that place, as you do. And then, perhaps, I will be capable of loving the Beauty and Light within you as we both dream of. Until that Glorious Day, know, my Beautiful Angel, that you are my guiding Light, and I am grateful for your presence with every single breath I take. Do not wait for me. You have fulfilled your promise and more, just by being the Truth of Love that you are. When I find peace with my Heart, I will find you, again. I promise.'
Arielle Star, La Grande, Oregon Member Since October 2016 Artist Statement Painting, for me, is a ceremonial act. The Studio becomes Sacred Space with music, flowers, crystals, candles, smudge… Using eyes, hands, breath, heart, intuition, emotion and spirit, and occasionally brushes, I am a Channel for the manifestation of Divine Energy desiring to come forth unto the Canvas. The paintings, which are often feminine images, each arrive with a powerful, potent, specific message for the world. Like all births, the experience can be emotional, cathartic, deeply moving, euphoric and healing with laughter, tears, dancing, singing and praying… I believe that the world, and all who witness them, are receiving the healing Beauty Medicine and Blessings that these Holy Beings offer to us all.
