Original Artwork by Damini
Damini combines three passions — Shamanism, creative arts, and healing arts — to skillfully weave what she knows and loves into a unique and powerful approach to awakening the creative self.
My work strives to create a bridge between humanity and Nature’s aliveness; to evoke a felt sense that Nature is alive and has spirit.
Nature’s aliveness is also a part of us. When we engage with Nature, we connect with a unique energy that is beyond our mental interpretation of the physical — we connect with our hearts.
This heart connection stirs a knowing in our bones that reminds us that we are part of Nature — part of The Web of Life. This knowing shifts our perspective from the idea that we are separate, to the understanding that Nature is part of us — NOT an other, an object, something to take from, or something to conquer. Ultimately, this understanding of partnership creates a more balanced relationship with Land-Nature-The Planet.
Using layering as a metaphor for the many ways we connect or don’t connect with Nature. I use my skills as an artist to tell a story about our connection with Nature, through the metaphor of Landscapes; the internal landscape of Soul and external landscape of Nature.
Shamanic art is not a representation of healing, it is powerful and profound healing power.
“I am a lover of the natural worlds, magical worlds, and the inner realms. I am always seeking to deepen and broaden the relationship of the viewer or student to invite greater connection to self and the world around us.”
”Healing happens when we remember, reconnect, and balance our relationship to the Spirit That Lives In All Things. My paintings explore Landscapes. Landscape of Place and Landscapes of Spirit, and the healing that comes with honoring the relationship with those places. This work is a prayer, a blessing, an offering to the Web of Life.
