La Lumière
"As I remember the light in me
You will remember the light in you
The light was always there for us to see
But we forgot we had the power to choose."
~ Kim McElroy
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
La Lumière was created for my client Lori Bridges of her horse Alibi. The search for wellness for Alibi and the other horses in her practice led her to learn ancient healing techniques such as JinShin and CranioSacral therapies. In meditation with Alibi, I saw imagery that gave us a direction, and then Lori continued to dialogue intuitively with Alibi about the portrait and she would receive her own meaningful imagery and signs from him. The portrait evolved to incorporate all of these elements along with the photos that she sent. The image of the clouds was taken on her land and depicts the face of a horse that is one of her horse spirit guides. Alibi and their land are surrounded by a sphere of protection and grace. Alibi he insisted that the portrait was to be as much about the healing gift of her hands that had relieved his pain, as it was about her desire to have me paint a vision of him.
