Semi-Precious Stones
Bringing in ELEMENTS of the earth into Fine Art
My “Elements” series
is a creative blending of semi-precious stones and unique pieces of the earth
with traditional fine art. I love finding and using things that were created by
nature such as semi-precious stones and sea shells, using them in unique and creative
ways.
“I’ve never seen
anything like it” Is the biggest comment I get.
The semi-precious
stones I use in my Elements series come from all over the world from various
sources. Most of the stones I use have been collected throughout the year in order
to work out my compositions and then incorporate them into my paintings.
Each semi-precious
stone has individual properties generating energetically from the stone. The
energy can be felt by wearing the stone, touching the stone and will fill your
room where the art will hang.
I encourage people to
touch the stones on the art to resonate with its properties. I include
properties of the stones with the descriptions. Some stones are healing,
energizing, loving, and calming. Some resonate with different chakras and evoke
emotions.
I love working with
and showcasing the unique beauty found in each semi-precious stone. I hope
you enjoy these unique works as much as I enjoy creating them.

Zeolite and Apophyllite from the Jalgaon District in India: In particular, zeolites are said to be
extraordinarily helpful for absorbing and removing toxins, whether it be in the
environment or in a person. In a person, this metaphysical aspect makes zeolites
excellent healing stones, and they are often used in conjunction with Reiki.
Zeolites are also said
to be useful for agriculture or gardening, especially when they are buried in
the field or garden.
Zeolites are said to
