| I have been painting for many years purely because it gave me great joy, and a peacefulness that would envelope me as I journeyed into the image that I was creating. In the beginning I drew inspiration from nature, painting landscapes and animals. My artwork began to evolve after meeting a wonderful man who encouraged me to delve into my true beliefs. For most of my life I had hidden the fact that I could sense energies around us, a knowing of happenings and psychic ability. Now this was all to change as I opened to my gifts. My paintings began to have hidden messages within them. At this time they were still of natural scenes and animals but with a twist. One morning after a restless nights sleep I told my husband of the horrible images that I had been seeing all night. My dreams which felt more like nightmares had been filled with the images of the seal hunt,and baby seals looking at me with pleading eyes. |
The painting "Do You See What I See?" came from those dreams. Look deep into the eyes of the baby seal and you will see the reflection of a hunter holding a gaff hook.  It was in January 2008 that my first "unusual" painting flowed onto canvas. The title "Awakening" came through to me loud and clear. I had sketched the images that had been coming to me for several days and decided to record myself painting. I sensed that this was to be a life altering event for me, and so it began. |

| I started to walk a new path, one of self discovery, with a willingness to embrace all that my imagination now had to offer. My paintings now featured angels, the heavens and inter-dimensional beings. The energies of joy and love can be felt from the paintings, along with messages of inspiration. I sensed as I created these images that I was not alone and being assisted by a guide, that is why I often refer to my paintings as co-creations. |
I enjoy sharing images my artwork and they have been featured on many "New Age" and spiritual sites across the internet. A selection of these images can also be found in a deck of Blue Ray Healing and Activation Oracle cards along with my channeled sacred geometry mandalas. |

It gives me great joy to pick up a canvas and my acrylic paints, to open my heart and mind to the universe and allow the flow of creativity. With much love and blessings Deb Graves and my higher self Araznu. www.debzartonline.com |
