ANN’S PROCESS
Music is a big part of my life in art. The music I listen to while painting, attracts certain spirit energy my way. I began knowing these wonderful invisible entities when I was about three years old…and would climb a big Banyan tree to spend time with them.
Around six, my invisible friends’ voices receded as I became more attuned to the tangle of earth thoughts. The music I listen to while painting, attracts certain spirit and meanings of everyday life. Years later, in the ‘60s, it was my good fortune to realized invisible spirits are a reality and forming a conscious connection to them is very favorable. That is when my creativity began to flower. I am actually co-creating with my invisible friends as I trust their input and they make it fun. It is lively to be infused with frequencies according to the music I am listening to.
I have been dedicated to painting as my creative focus for the last forty years.
