Drawing from the Essence of Life…
Lee Ann’s Soul Essence Drawing
Dear Friends
After I shared my recent life changing event, the outpouring of love and support from all of you has been incredibly uplifting for me. What a symphony of well wishes and stories you have shared that makes me feel so connected with you. Sometimes the internet communication world can be a world of passively receiving information, yet I am learning that it also can be a heartfelt way of reaching out and asking for connection, and expressing how we feel. When I read your posts, it makes me feel that much closer to you all and I feel so very fortunate that my life’s work has created such a loyal and loving following of like-minded people.
The drawing shown above was created at one of the equine facilitated workshops I taught when I was engaged in the process of drawing the “soul essence” of the person from receiving an intuitive message during a client’s reflective session with a horse. I have often realized that as an artist who feels compelled to interpret and express for others, it is rare that I take the time to sit down and draw intuitively for myself. When I do, I am always amazed at the profound imagery that evolves from the unseen world into the seen. I thought you might enjoy seeing a few of my rarely shown personal creations that held powerful messages for me.
I know now that I have experienced a profound and daunting near death experience, that even though I have yet to put hand to paper, that when I do, I will be able to ask and receive insights into what this crossroads in my journey has in store for me…
The Weaver This drawing was created during a workshop I taught at Epona – after I participated in a shamanic journey. The message for me was that as an artist I am a weaver, and I create the horse as a tapestry from life itself

Heaven and Earth This drawing was inspired by viewing the parts of myself in connection with heaven and earth and the elements

In closing I thought I’d share a couple photos of me in my younger years. Some of you have known me from around that time!

I recently heard an interview with Wayne Dyer where he said essentially that we are constantly changing and we are no longer the people/bodies that we were before… it is so true – I have grown so much and had so many magical times since these photos were taken, and my life is just beginning… I am so grateful to have more of that life to live, and to have the continued vitality to express my creative spirit and continue to share it with all of you.
