'A little prying into my thoughts is allowed...' Lainy the proud 'Colourist' x

A Warm welcome awaits..

I am passionately a firm believer that colour is, like music, a major player of influence in our everyday lives. It is through colour that we can harmonise our thinking and our attitudes. Colour is the essential ingredient that makes this our therapeutic level in our world. There have been bold attempts to remove, quite fashionably, colour richness from our homes leaving walls the colours of unused canvasses. Only this soon weakens and so the need to re-introduce, however small the form, colour injections back in through the door of our homes.

This wonderful planet that we live on does not contain all the colours of the rainbow without reason. Nature and its colours are not here by chance, everything in nature is here for a purpose. Colour is no exception.

My work is about all that, reminders of why colour is there, to bring emergence to lives in animate form.

Just imagine a world 'without' colour..... colour affects our mood and our health and without it we would experience shifts in how we feel, how we act and how we age. We experience colour in our food, the choices we select for decorating our homes, the vibrant energetic colour from daylight and the clothing that we choose to wear. Our bodies have an innate wisdom that allows us to gravitate the colours we need.

The theory that colour affects our lives has been talked about throughout the ages. The most important form of how we receive colour is the full spectrum light of daylight. Think of the bright hues of yellow, orange and red of daylight and how they give energy and the deep calming influence of blues, indigo and violet of nightime and how they have a calming influence....this observation then allows us to see how the red end of the spectrum is energising while the blue end of the colour spectrum is relaxing.

Egyptians used coloured light as a healing art. Archaeologists discovered pyramids constructed with openings for sunlight for insertion of coloured glass and crystals. In the pyramids there were individual healing rooms which resonated with specific colour frequencies. The power of full spectrum light has been used for centuries for jaundice, psoriasis, depression and the list goes on. Coloured light is used in state-of-the-art treatment rooms to improve your health, which improves the look of your skin, the tone of your body and the balancing of emotions. Technology meets science with utilising coloured light on acupuncture points to balance you on a physical and emotional level.

Our homes and the rooms within them can be designed to provide a solace or a place to energize us, based upon the colours we have selected and what rooms we have chosen to decorate with colour. Surrounding ourselves with uplifting colours and environment can create a positive visual impression, and this can have a strong impact on how we present ourselves and how we interact with our world.

Colour, the influential and essential ingredient for living.

Over the years my work has been appreciated by people and many pieces are hanging on walls the other sides of the Great Pond...... I am proud of this great achievement and simply knowing that by introducing people to the therapy of colour I have helped them realise the need to allow it to stay in our lives....
