Visionary Artist Healer

 

 

  

I am a visionary artist healer and inter-faith minister. My painting, poetry and study of mysticism have been a gateway into understanding myself and a glimpse into a greater reality that we seldom take time to explore.

“ Painting is the meaning of humanity in a visible moment.

Great painting transcends eyes and through other agencies,

can be transmitted from soul to soul. All dreamers are spirit painters.

All dreams are paintings. All spirit painters are world re-makers.

Painting is the refresher of love, the aider of love, the incarnation of loving.”

 

                                 by Ben Okri

 

 

 

May my art be a source of consolation,

peace and strength to all.

 

 

MORE ABOUT ME - SHELLY VICKERS-PERTZ:

 

 

I am a refugee from South Africa having taken

a stand against apartheid in the late 70’s.

 

I have spent the last 20 years in England

involved in campaigns for justice, community

Work with children, healing and painting.

 

I have an enormous love for people and

constantly seek the advice of the Divine in

everything around me.

 

I believe that beauty and creativity heal the

heart, mind and soul in a way which no other

medicine can. I have managed to overcome

numerous challenges in my life and hope that

my art will prove an inspiration to all those

who wish to take on life whole-heartedly.

 

I paint mainly in acrylics on canvas and paper

but I also use mixed media and other

 techniques in some of my paintings. I enjoy using

the energetic property of colour to express hidden

dimensions of light and subtle vibrations

present in nature and life forms.

A  Poem:

 

 Beloved

 

I have felt your inquiring into my soul,

I have breathed your breathlessness,

I touched the icons of your beauty

I have synthesised the howl in your voice

Caressed the spears that dart from your wounded hands

Peeped with a distant longing

Knelt before your atlas

Recognised the trail of your scent

Recognised the rivers of your tears

In my eyes.

 

I held your terror with my naked hands,

Melted into your joyfulness

Danced on the precipice of your beauty.

 

You became a whisper on my tongue;

The echo of faith and gratitude

Resounds in my soul.
