When the ocean is searching for you don’t walk to the language-river. Listen to the ocean and bring your talky business to an end.
~ Rumi ~
After years of painting, I found a spiritual creative practice that I have come to call Visual Medicine.
Visual Medicine™️ is a radically simple painting process which allows images to emerge – to be born, rather than painted. The paintings are made without a brush by scooping acrylic paint onto watercolour paper that has been wet, allowing the images to essentially paint themselves. The paintings that arise from this process are templates of infinite complexity and integrity that seem to express the underlying forms and patterns existing in nature, which in turn give a visual access to the vastness of possibility within your own internal nature.
From the moment I first saw the signs of Visual Medicine™️ taking shape on paper, I envisaged a book with images and words, which could somehow transmit the physical experience of painting as an act of soul-speaking. I wanted to acknowledge that our psyche or soul’s imagination has the capacity for creative enquiry, which allows us to understand and heal what is hurt, blocked, underdeveloped, unspoken and sometimes even unspeakable, while opening us to the possibility of the mysterious, the expansive, the unknown. I wanted to acknowledge that paintings are not just decorations to hang on walls but soul markers, artefacts woven from the complex threads of our lives.
This book will introduce you to Visual Medicine™️ as a psychospiritual-creative practice and show you how to create your own paintings. It will teach you how to hold a conversation through using your paintings and writing with them, and how to keep a Visual Journal. Visual Medicine™️ will introduce you to what I have called the Oracle Mind - the potent visionary energy of the right-brain that each human consciousness carries innately and guide you into this vast mind that problem solves, creates, and dreams.

The images are primal, powerful and energetic which remind us of the potency of nature in full force.
