Artisan Collective Interviewees.

Lee-Anne Caulkett
Visionary Artist

Picture
My spiritual journey started when I was a very small child. Well at least my earliest memory dates back to when I was around two years of age. I recall sitting on the grass watching my mother hanging the washing. It was a beautiful sunny day in Tasmania. The blue of the sky danced with the green of the grass which was sprinkled with sparkles of white. The little daisies smiled and tickled my toes as I watched the bees lightly kissing each flower. I was observing the wonderment of complete connection, not only the physical world that my eyes could see but also the energetic matrix in which I was experiencing. Even though I was too young to articulate my experience, the energy in which I sat in reverberates with me in every moment since my "re-awakening". ​It has taken a lot of soul searching, rediscovery, hard lessons and joyful lessons to return to the moment I experienced at two. And it has been so worth it. ​We exist within worlds within worlds. Matrices overlaying matrices. All exquisite and all enchanting in their own unique way. I have been blessed to play within the faerie realm, converse with Angels, reach out to galactic guidance, hold the hand of another as they discover their soul spark, share messages of love from passed loved ones and dance within the knowing of the Omniverse. My art is a reflection of the way I see our existence here on beautiful planet Earth and the connections we have, how we can deepen our connection to Spirit and to ourselves. There are so many different pathways in which we can travel to find our soul self and I have been blessed to be able to walk and share these with others. ​I hope that my work may be bring you closer to the Divine within yourself, that you too can see the beauty that lies within you and around you. My wish for you is to find the love that you are and if I have assisted you in even a small way then my existence has been blessed.

Lynda Rae
Near Death Experiencer (NDE) + Author

Picture
Since a child, I was aware I was different to other children.  The more I grew, the more I realised these "gifts" were something I could utilise to help others. I always knew I was a Psychic Medium. In 2001 I had a very unique Near Death Experience, for which my ebook is available for sale on my Web Store, entitled "Ticket To Heaven". 

After studying a Life Coaching course, I realised how many people out there desperately need help with their issues, stresses, uncertain futures and other problems. I have now been placed into a position where I can commit to helping others through not only their own stress, anxiety and daily issues, but also to enhance their lives by showing how to use their own Psychic Abilities to create a better future for themselves.

Valezka
Intuitive Ambidextrous Artist

Picture
My name is Valezka. I am a 43 year old mother of 4, wife and homemaker from Cockatoo in Victoria. I am also an ambidextrous intuitive artist. It was during the time of the birth of my 4th child that I was diagnosed with postnatal depression. This spiraled into some debilitating medical and emotional conditions that left me feeling isolated and sad. At this time I was offered an aged, emaciated mare. I accepted her even though I had no real horse experience and I knew she was dying. Instantly my world changed. By spending time caring for her I began to have access to higher realms, she began teaching me about life and myself and she often visited me in lucid dreams. I began to question reality and my sanity.

Francie Griffin
Intuitive Artist, Spirit Guide Artist
+ Reiki Practitioner/Teacher

Picture
What are you seeking? A spiritual connection, deepening your spiritual awareness, healing, a unique experience or maybe some beautiful personalised artwork?  I am a facilitator of healing and connection, teacher and artist. I offer all these things and more.
 
I specialise in intuitive art. In particular spirit guide drawings. So how does this work?  I connect with your energy and your spirit guide and am able to create their image and share with you their message. It's a personal and powerful experience that results in a pastel drawing imbued with Healing Universal Energy and a means of energetically connecting with your spiritual guide/s that has come through me at that time. I receive a message of guidance from your guide and this is posted to you in the form of a gift card.  The process takes typically takes about an hour and gives you something you can keep and treasure forever.
 
I am often asked how I started this work.  Like a spiral there is no definitive starting point, it is part of my journey of life and spirals often feature in my work and journaling.  Apart from being the foundation of all life forms my life has been like a spiral.  As a kid I loved art and I was always doodling eyes.  When faced with what to do with the rest of my life I decided to be a teacher like most of my siblings.  Then what will I teach?  History and English sounded good but in those days teaching was about standing in front of a class and talking for 40 minutes and being very shy at that tender age I couldn't imagine myself doing that.  I chose to be an art teacher because I loved art and I figured I wouldn't have to talk as much!
 
As the spiral of my life built momentum I found myself spiralling away from my love of art and teaching and working in a much more left brain environment.  Then the spiral of my life seemed to be unravelling for some years and I felt the call of my soul calling me home to my true self.  I began to be drawn to matters of a spiritual nature, I studied the Course of Miracles and was attuned as a reiki channel, eventually to Reiki Master/Teacher level.  And during the course of this the creative side of me that had been lying dormant for so long began to emerge once again.
 
Now I am joyfully in the creative spiral again!  I paint intuitively and am specialising in Spirit Guide portraits where people always notice how mesmerising the eyes are, well I was doodling them all those years ago.  My healing energy is channeled into my art.  I love my work and especially the healing it brings both to me and my clients.

Emelisa Mudle
Healing Artist

Ever been in a situation where fears rule your life, where you know there is something better, or at least a better way to be?

The creativity process started for me over 8 years ago. An interview at a Tafe college "an introduction into fine arts". I remember sitting there feeling as though I was back at high school listening to the teacher again. I never liked school, I was a very insecure, sensitive child on many levels. I could feel the fear coming up, feeling trapped, tests, failure, what if ???. As the teacher spoke I could see how different it was from those childhood school days. I was asked "why do you want to do this course?" and what came out was "I want to let go". Well, after listening to what he had to say I was so excited I signed right there and then. First day at school, little lunch packed and a box of nerves to boot I headed to class. I wasn't what you would consider a very creative person. The last time I painted I was at state school which was so many years ago. I had so many fears, comparisons and insecurities come up through this course. "Your not good enough" "what if I fail?"  "I am too stupid to do this" and the punishing thought list continued on...
​
Even though at times I was going through so much fear I really was enjoying the learning and creative process that was unfolding within me. I continued with the course the following year "Fine arts 3". It was certainly a more serious, 3 to 4 days a week and a lot more homework. And, to top it off, almost everyone in there had been doing art for years. I remember my first day painting, it was about having fun and exploring the paint, marks, different brushes etc.. Fun I thought? Fun! She has to be kidding, how can I, the perfectionist, have fun?. So I sat there with brush in hand, looking down at a blank canvas. Everyone was painting and having fun and in that moment I realised I was so scared to fail. I sat brooding, felt like a child at school who had thrown a mood and sat in the corner of the sandpit. After a slight push from the teacher I made my first mark, then my second, then I lost count as it got easier and easier from there. I still found myself comparing, yet I left my mark and that was what counted. This had gone on for months, I couldn't even draw a cube, I sat there and felt so out of place but I was driven. I would get this and I practiced I also started to realise my fears no longer controlled me in this area of my life. I had wonderful teachers whom where very supportive.

Why I am sharing this story is that when you choose to let go and face a fear it is amazing what the outcome can be. Letting go took me to a relationship breakup, betrayal issues, leaving college and spending 11 months on a hill on my own. I had never experienced so much emotional pain and seen so many fears, I let fear rule my life. I had smothered myself in so much that I finally just 'let go'. Yes that was where the 'let go' at the beginning of college took me. I have continued painting at home and did a lot of painting through the painful time and my art started to change. I no longer became scared of the mark, I was the mark - I was no longer scared of me. So many people are scared to try something new. We all have our excuses, I can't draw, I have no creativity, I would be useless at that. We are all creative souls. Our minds are very good at sabotaging us. It takes courage to let go of control and try something different, where we embrace our fear and stop denying it and step through that seemingly large wall. We actually realise that wall wasn't that large after all.
We are so much more than we realise? Have you ever sat quietly and asked yourself: Who am I? What do I really want? I have no idea what is going to happen in my future other than letting go and learning to trust myself and to live my life from my heart - to share love. I wrote this story 8 years ago, since writing this my life has changed in such amazing ways I run workshops and classes as well as private sessions using creativity as a tool to help people gain a better understanding of how their thoughts and fears rule their lives. I have also come to a place within myself that I truly believe that you can only live life fully if you are being present. Some of my workshops are about delving and exploring thoughts and patterns while others are just about having fun. I have travelled internationally running these workshops as well as in universities and health retreats. I feel so blessed to be where I am now and to have created this beautiful world I choose to live in. If I continued saying I cant do this and living my fears I would never be where I am today.

Okkah
​
The Band

Picture
OKKAH is made up of two enterprising and talented musicians Michael Whittle and Ammon Chung, both based in Utah (USA). They believe that music can truly transcend the human condition but that most people find this to be a scary thing. They also believe that music creates community - something sadly lacking from all of our lives in 2015. Apart from the musical side of OKKAH, Ammon Chung produces a range of healing crystal necklaces which no doubt would enhance their performances if worn at a gig (or in your home).

Richard Goldsworthy
Musician + Composer

Picture
I was born in Cairns, in the tropical north of Australia and spent my early childhood in the tiny rainforest village of Kuranda. Many of the unique places I have lived and visited have influenced my music. After studying classical piano through my childhood, I began composing as a teenager and released my first album, Firelight Moon in 1992. Returning to live in my native tropical North Queensland inspired the following 2 albums I created, Magic Happens and Hidden Dancers. In 2004/5 I spent several months traveling and performing in Japan, where I wrote my album Silk, before returning to Australia’s Sunshine Coast region to compose and produce my most successful release to date, The Quietening. My next album Lifted was originally composed and inspired on the Islands of Hawaii and in the deserts of Arizona, before coming to completion in the beautiful Blackall Ranges, inland from my home at Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. This is where I also created most of my latest work, In This Moment.
