New Art: Goddess Chakras

Chakra is a Sanskrit word, which translates to wheel or disk. Each chakra holds an energetic vibration along with a specific color that governs our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. They are aligned going up the spine from the base of the spine to the top of the head in an ascending column. Chakras spin clockwise or counter clockwise to either draw in energy from the world around us or to broadcast our energy out into the world. There are specific functions and vibrational frequencies that are expressed through each chakra. If one of our chakras are out of balance, we may experience a feeling of being off balance ourselves, feeling drained of our vitality, or even experience illness in some cases. Goddess Chakras are my newest art to bring into the world. The work you see here is the result of three years of study, research, and experiencing my own healing journey through the chakras.

These images are the blending of acrylic 12x12 paintings, which were then digitally manipulated to create the images you see here. The original acrylic paintings are still a work in progress and look nothing like what you see here. I added flower essences and gem elixirs in the water and paints for each chakra so as to imbue each painting with their energetic vibration. Each chakra has specific plants, flowers, gems, and planets that correspond to each one, so the flower essence and gem elixir used are different for each painting. I also used water collected from a creek in an ancient cedar grove.

I photographed a small section showing the detail of the texture in the paintings to use as an example as work in progress images.

I then, out of my own curiosity, decided to take these textured details into a computer program, digitally manipulating them by using a mirroring filter to see what new shapes would come forward. I was happily surprised to see what was created! Other than using this mirroring filter and color correction, no other manipulation of these textures were done. The final chakras are below along with their affirmations.

I trust my body's wisdom and it's ability to heal. I connect with and honor the sacredness of my body, listening to what it needs. I create safe spaces for women to connect and trust one another again, for we are all Sisters.

My womb is my sacred temple of creative manifestation. I share my womb wisdom with other women.
