Location: North Raleigh, Creedmoor Rd/ Norwood Rd, 27614

I will guide you in using intuitive art techniques to paint a power animal!  The intuitive methods help you to start using freedom, fun and a little intention!  You don’t need experience, there is no wrong way to paint this, as the process of painting IS your medicine. I’ll help you keep moving. I use ‘power animal’ from the perspective of contemporary shamanism as used by Sandra Ingerman or Michael Harner for example. I use intuitive painting methods inspired by Flora Bowley.

TESTIMONIALS

“I had the most incredible couple of days learning shamanic painting with Anita. The whole experience allowed me to explore new aspects of my personal creativity.  I left inspired, energized and with a fresh sense of wonder. Thanks Anita!”            Annabel Daly, New Year’s Resolution Club co-founder http://www.newyearsresolutionclub.wordpress.com

” I have been a realistic Graphite Portrait Artist for the last 12 yrs. Whilst I also enjoyed painting murals on walls I had little experience with acrylic on canvas. Anita has opened art up to me in a whole new light. Truly she has helped me to embrace painting as a process and to overcome many insecurities and fears that artists are faced with. Her deep love for nature deepens the experience in a meaningful way.  Anita teaches a style of painting that frees the artist to embark on a journey of self discovery eventually allowing the artist to discover their own unique style.”
