INTRODUCTION

Walking in a sacred manner of old ways, it’s worth noting that ancient practices of painting first evolved from gathering rocks to develop pigment into paint. Cave drawings have been preserved from an era when all people were poets. Whether the paintings were to record or for decorative purposes, each stroke held expressions based on who was creating. This I believe to be a language in spiritual belonging and our harmony with nature.
