This mountain scene was inspired by a client that commissioned me to create a mountain scene in their home, specifically the bedroom wall. They had purchased a 3D piece an Santa Fe made of all organic materials and had a focus on the moon.

I always add a full moon to my mountain scenes but this time I felt Spirit guiding me to add the planetary alignment that had been happening during the time I was creating this piece. It was an alignment of 8 planets. I was not aware that my client was an energy healer and loves all things constellation. It further reinforces me to listen to my intuition and know that Spirit is co-creating with me.

When referring to Fire Totem on a spiritual level, fire represents transformation,purification, passion and the divine, often symbolizing both destruction and rebirth. It can also be linked to motivation, inspiration and connection with the sacred.

Copper is an organic element and as art, it’s an amazing compliment with any interior decor. It can stand alone or be grouped with other art. Copper embraces the beauty of imperfection and natural materials and finds beauty in the aged and authentic pieces. Copper Patina is the perfect look of Wabi Sabi Art and Design.

Copper Patina undergoes a transmutation of elements in the pursuit for knowledge and spiritual enlightenment..

Not the best picture as the copper desktop is so large, its impossible to get a close up in its entirety. This is the end of the install and as you can see, the client still needs to put her computer, etc. back on the desk top but wanted to post a pic of it before it has th electronic equipment gets added back on.

I love the copper colors in this space. What you can’t see are all of the “sparkles” that are in all of the colors. Copper Patina can be used on table top, bar tops, desk tops among many additional ideas.
