August / September 2009

Welcome to Movement... There are so many ways of connecting to movement, in a movement practice for our bodies, in thought process within our minds' creations, in our feelings manifesting our communication with our higher self or soul.

The one thing that spoke to me in this wonderful piece titled Apsara Hands by Francene Hart was just that, our hands. Hands in constant motion, used for every aspect of supporting our well-being, our life our healing. Is there a place within our lives that we don't use our hands. We use them to nourish, to touch, to pray. They symbolize all that we are.

This painting was inspired by a visit to fabulous sacred city of Angkor and its most famous temple Angkor Watt in Cambodia. Francene was enthralled with the many dancing Apsara figures and the pink water lilies that fill the ponds in front of the great temple. The beautiful exaggerated hand movements "felt" like dance to her.

Francene Hart is an internationally recognized visionary artist whose work has been widely published in books and magazines and hangs in the homes of art collectors and the offices of healers and seekers around the planet.

"Reverence for the natural environment, and experiencing the interconnectedness between all things has long guided me to create watercolor paintings of beauty and spirit. Life's continuing adventure has led me into an exciting exploration into the wisdom and symbolic imagery of Sacred Geometry. These paintings act as a bridge between this reality and a metaphorical world of healing, continuity, and transformation. I use multiple transparent watercolor glazes coupled with image overlapping techniques, and sacred geometry to produce visions of a multi-dimensional reality. It is my intention to create art that embodies the vibration of Universal Love and expresses the joy and gratitude I feel for the honor of being part of this earthwalk."

In 2001 Francene took a leap of faith, following her inner guidance to the Big Island of Hawaii and found home. She considered herself to be a non-swimmer when she arrived and since has become in her words a "born again  mermaid," swimming with the sea turtles and spinner dolphins. She also expresses her gratitude in realization that "our ocean is the planetary superconductor and that as we "pray peace" and offer the vibration of universal love into the ocean it is quickly transmited around the world. Imagine the possibilities!"

"It is with great humility from an ever opening heart space that I embrace this sacred journey. My intention remains to follow my passion and life path as an artist and to continue to create paintings that bring forth healing and transformation for myself and for the planet.

Francene is artist and author of the Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck published by Inner Traditions/Bear & Co. and the recently released Sacred Geometry Cards for the Visionary Path.
