She is the all-loving, all-forgiving compassionate Goddess. She asks only that the wishes of her supplicants are neither harmful nor evil. Invocation to Kwan Yin: “Alas I do not know either the mystical word nor the mystical diagram, nor do I know the songs of praise to Thee, nor how to welcome Thee, nor how to meditate on Thee, not even how to inform Thee of my distress.

Feng Shui

"Feng Shui" 8inx12in Mixed media on canvas Feng Shui literally means “Wind and Water” - the two forces which shape our world on all levels. Good Feng Shui establishes and maintains a perfect balance of human activities with the energies of nature and the cosmos - so creating harmony and prosperity in the home, relationship, or business. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of promoting health, harmony, happiness and prosperity by harnessing the positive energy (chi) from one’s environment. Feng Shui is not a series of fixed rules about when to do things or where to put objects; instead, it relies on a deep understanding of the patterns of energy in the universe, and of their interaction with each individual. It deals with the intangible background of energetic influences and life-forces that create the objects and beings around us, and which shape our lives and future. In the family home, well-orientated Feng Shui features work to create harmonious relationships bet

The hole at the centre is the abyss, the mirror, or the question mark” - Isamu Noguchi 8in x 12in Mixed media on canvas
