Visual MedicineTM - a radically transformative creative practice

08/08/2026

Friends, I’m taking a little pause over the summer, but there are still lots of ways to connect with Visual Medicine and the different transformative way of seeing, thinking and connecting.

I’ve put together a little guide to some of the places you can find my work.

If you’re new here, it’s a good place to start. And if you’ve been here for a while, perhaps there’s something you haven’t yet explored.

Wishing you a beautiful summer. 🌞
I’ll see you again in September.

One of the many joys of my life is that painting is the way in which I have come to know Earth...painting is the way I know I belong here.

Painting is the way that my soul has learnt to speak with the Ancestors and the Pattern Creation Beings that hold the worlds in place. When these beings come through on a walk or in the studio - I feel a palpable sense of familiarity. I know them because I feel them in my bones - not just my eye sockets but deep in the resonating pockets of my marrow. They are the opposite of clean and white - they are wild water spilling beyond edges - they have their own grammar that defies our worded structures - but when you feel them - a right coherence settles in - and you/I/we can breathe knowing they are still with us.

First two images - photos of fungi in aging tree + tree bark...the rest are paintings with the Pattern Creation Ancestors.

Visual Language is our first language. It is the language we dream in.

For more than 25 years, I have created thousands of small paintings through a practice I call Visual Medicine™️.
Seen individually, these works may appear to be abstract. Yet when gathered together, another reality becomes visible. What emerges is not just a collection of images, but a visual ecology.

Across decades, recurring forms arrive spontaneously—without a plan, a sketch, or even a paintbrush. Cells, rivers, seeds, stars, ancestors, and serpents appear repeatedly, creating a long conversation in a pattern language that belongs simultaneously to the human psyche and the living Earth.

This is the language of the material world, of living systems, of roots, memory, and imagination.

And you are invited to speak it.

I am now ENROLLING for the next round of our immensely powerful three-month course: PAINTING WITH SPIRIT (Starting September 2026).

Step through the veil and learn to co-participate with the creational forces that birth the galaxies. No art experience is necessary. Come exactly as you are. Link in bio for more details.

Painting is a way of giving form to what is already existent, yet invisible to us until the fine layers of paint reveal the animacy of the world already present.

One of the unmourned losses of capitalism is that we have imbibed, without a blink, the impulse to extract - this applies to how we see. Our world is contorted by the insidiousness of visual patriarchy - the flattening of living beauty. We have lost the everyday capacity to commune with the materiality of the world and the dimensions of living-ness in between the layers.

Painting can be a way of opening a portal to these dimensions.

One of the first experiences of encountering living animacy was with my high school art teacher - Mrs Eve. She gave us an exercise to make a design using thick waxy crayon then apply watery acrylic paint over the top.

As my scribbled crayon marks appeared through the watery veil of black paint, I had an embodied sense of revelation. Seeing the pattern through the paint I sensed the painting had its own life - a visual voice and it was speaking to me. It said: No matter what is done to you - or what you do to yourself - your soul will shine through the darkness...

That moment of hearing, sensing, apprehending the voice of the painting initiated a lifetime journey of cultivating a relationship with the materiality of the world.

Turn by turn, making tens of thousands of small and large paintings has led me to know that the material world has a voice – multiversal, tentacular, mycelial, sporic and speaks in the same language of the Earth itself...🌎

My Visual Medicine studio...

Visual Medicine™️ is the creative spiritual practice I have developed and stewarded for over 25 years. It brings together a radically simple, transformative way of painting without brushes with visual meditation and reflective writing.

You don’t need any painting experience. You don’t need to think of yourself as an artist - only a willingness to listen, and to allow what wants to come through.

The paintings are not expressions of what we already know. They are co-creative conversations with the wellspring of universal creativity that is the matrix of the world.

Like dreams, they hold the seeds of conscious and unconscious thought and something else, mysterious, that reaches far beyond our own knowing. When we foster this connection, the paintings, like dreams, begin to speak to us.

Visual Medicine is not only a way of making exquisitely complex images - it is a transformative way of seeing, thinking, and connecting with the possibilities inherent within creative intelligence itself.

Through a practice of connecting, allowing, receiving, listening, activating, aligning — something extraordinary can happen. New thoughts. New associations. New body memories. New possibilities…

Like moving clouds, or a fast-flowing stream glinting over speckled rocks, or birds gathering into a murmuration becoming, in a single moment a feather or a flower petal opening in morning warmth.

If you feel like this calls you, then join me on the upcoming course PAINTING WITH SPIRIT - STARTS MAY 25TH...

Warm greetings to you as a beautiful spring unfolds here in the Northern Hemisphere.

There are still several places available for the next gathering of Painting with Spirit - I have extended the Early Bird offer until May 16th.

Painting with Spirit is an immersion in the language of image as transmission from the realms of the invisible. Guided by the paint and the practice of Visual Medicine™️ you will enter into direct relationship with the originating forces that birthed the world.

The paintings are not expressions of what we already know. They are co-creative conversations with the wellspring of universal creativity that is the matrix of the world and all its patterns.

I invite you into creative communion with the Spirits of the world, our cosmic ancestors, soul kin, unseen allies, and the pattern languages of Deep Time - to step through the veil into the imaginal, the ancestral, the wildly alive and Paint with Spirit…

You do not need any painting experience. You do not need to identify as an artist. All you need is a willingness to allow what wants to come through - to flow through onto the paper.

The group is held LIVE online - so you can participate from anywhere in the world - sessions are recorded in case you need to miss.

I am soooo looking forward to welcoming you.

Friends, I have been quieter here than usual this past year or so. I have been deep inside my painting practice and my Visual Medicine™️ teaching. Both have deepened in ways that are profoundly confirming.

I can only describe this unfolding as the opening of a living portal. The paintings that have come through are transmissions - messages from dimensions of knowing and connection. In this realm everything is emergent and interwoven in the luminous body of Creation itself.

I am offering a new course beginning May 25th - Painting with Spirit.

Over ten weeks we will work together online, in a small group, using the alchemical creational lens of Visual Medicine™️ to pull through your guides, your kin, your Mother Tongue - the original undomesticated language that speaks through you in image, in sensation, in pattern - the visual hum beneath words.

From the air we breathe to the ground we walk on, we are held within a living field of co-creative Ancestor beings - planetary ancestors, cosmic ancestors, land kin, soul kin, plant, animal and mineral allies - all of whom have shaped the very cellular contours of our being. Every one of us carries the imprint of their resilience, curiosity and wisdom. Not one of us has less than we need.

Painting with Spirit is an immersion in the language of image as transmission from the realms of the Unseen. We enter into direct creative relationship with these ancient originating forces that birthed us and the world.
You do not need any experience of painting - only a willingness to show up, to not-know, and to receive what comes through.

If something in you has been waiting to experience a different kind of knowing - I welcome you. I am offering an Early Bird price until May 10th.

I invite you to join me in creative communion with the Spirits of the world.

None of the images that you see have been created with a brush - they arrive as whole body transmissions through water and paint fully formed onto the page.

Volumes ELEVEN & TWELVE are available to read now on Substack.. Alternatively you can view the full immersive versions of the stories (which I highly recommended) by locating the library on my website.

The Visual Healing Library has been a long held vision for me. I believe in creativity in the same way I believe in an intelligence cognisant of Creation itself.

Here is a sneak peak at some of the images from the tenth vision book - YOU ARE WELCOME HERE. Read it now on Substack or on the website Library.
