Art in the Everyman // Kirsten Todd
Mon 6 Jun to to Sat 16 July
Creating art for Kirsten is like a release, a freedom, entering an altered state or reality, as she becomes in flow and in tune with the colour, paint and canvas, bringing a connection to the Divine and all that is. It is as if in divine flow as the piece of work is developed and the creation is born. Art has taken her on so many wonderful journeys of discovery and is continually helping her to expand emotionally and spiritually. Within her paintings Kirsten strives to capture the energy needed for the piece; vibrancy, strength, balance and beauty.
Her main collection of paintings concentrate on the Divine Feminine; We all have masculine and feminine energy flowing within us, and for the last few thousand years it has been out of balance with the masculine energy having a much stronger influence and in control of the way we think and feel. This imbalance has caused the patriarchal society we live in, fuelling aggression, war, anger, greed, and dominance over women. Now there is a rise in the Divine feminine energy streaming into the planet and within us, seeking to rebalance our bodies and inner world and by extension our outer world and planet. This feminine energy brings with it compassion, strength within, heightened intuition, truth, wisdom, unity consciousness, the breakdown of old, outdated systems and increased spirituality. Kirsten’s portraits highlight the rise of the divine feminine energy in this time of great change and awakening as we, our planet and universe are on a journey of ascension to a new higher, vibration, co-creating a new way of being and living, as many more souls awaken at this time.
Her art highlights the struggle of women to be accepted as equals, giving women a much needed voice, seeing beauty within all of us and every living being, and celebrating cultural diversity and the sacred, enlightened cultures of indigenous peoples. As we raise in consciousness and into a new paradigm the patriarchal ways will dissolve – and are dissolving slowly around us – and the rising of the feminine energy will bring the masculine and feminine into balance thus creating a balanced and unified world. If we listen to our intuition, we can tap into unlimited strength, compassion, guidance, wisdom and creativity.
We can shine our light and show the world our true essence and true powerful nature, empowering ourselves and the world around us. Everything is connected on an energetic and molecular level from the micro to the macro, we are connected to every single thing on this planet and each other, connected to the universe and all that exists. We are comprised solely of energy, everything is energy, everything is vibrating, nothing is solid as it appears to be, we appear solid as the vibratory rate is slow. As the vibratory rate or frequency speeds up then our state changes from appearing solid to pure energy or light and we are no longer a physical being but a being of pure light. We are from the same energy source all vibrating at different frequencies as individual expressions of that energy.
