'Like Little Souls Dancing'
The birth story of healing art for meditation & contemplation
Imagine....
If You stepped
Into the space
This space
And you didn't know
If your heart fluttered
Or the wind rushed
If your soul whispered
Or the sea sang
If your light shone
Or the sky expanded
Imagine
If for one moment
You knew yourself to be
Liminality
Then
You would feel
The wonder of you
The source of you
The Source
Imagine
If Source was speaking
Already
In tones of joy
In every flower
In every raindrop
In every organic expression of life
Now imagine
If such healing
Such wisdom
Such gifts
Came through
In sacred ways
Through
The pootle
Of a pencil
And on witnessing
The ethereal
The elemental
The eternal
You remembered
Your own
Soul's calling
'Imagine'
Said the Sourcedoodle
Just imagine
And so it is.....
Such is the journey of allowing & capturing the images I draw.
It began in January 2019, when I decided to give myself time to just draw whatever I felt in the moment. It was a daily practice, a gift of mindfulness and a moment of playful curiosity.
A sense of what if......
I gave myself 30 minutes to just enjoy the pencils. I love to mix the hard and soft leads and create texture, shadow & light play. I love the way the pencil sounds on the paper. I love the organic nature of real art materials. I don't know about you but I can't even use the mouse pad on the laptop. It gives me a wobbly feeling, a sense of disconnection. I need the pencils to ground myself. I need the smell of the paper. Just like handwriting it takes me back to my childhood self, surrounded by crayons & felt tips & possibility.
Each SourceDoodle is drawn in this way first. I carried on this way for about a year and a half, compiling a heap of delicate little drawings that seemed to capture a mood, a sense of movement, a sense of connection to neural pathways, to cosmic pathways & to joy and light. I tasked myself to share them on Instagram, regardless of how I felt about them, and whatever came up was my learning for the day about myself.
It was an exercise in self trust and acceptance.
It was something I needed to begin anchoring in my sovereignty.
It was a way of nurturing my identity as an artist & a lightworker.
Decades of healing work brought me to this place where I could openly say 'I am an ARTIST'
It was and still is a healing process for me.
And then I discovered filters, on my phone.......
And then the bigger magic happened.....
I played and played for hours, sitting with each image, feeling through the colours, the experimentation, the effects...what a wonderland of lush!
And so the SourceDoodles that you see here are the result of that curiosity.
With each image a title comes through intuitively and a message for healing.
A message for connecting you back to your heart, back to compassion, back to knowing, back to your awareness that you are a unique expression of light that contributes to a collective field.
As an energy healer I could feel the resonance within the images.
I could see that they spoke further than me as an artist.
I am their guardian
They come through me and my pencil for the good of the collective
It is my soul purpose to nurture the healing possibilities of divine creative expression within myself so that the images I bring through may act as a catalyst for you to begin your own journey of self-expression and the opening of your own heart.
Each Image has a story
A capturing of energy
An anchoring of light intensity
A glorious weaving of fluidity
A playful curiosity
Allow them to seep into your consciousness and let them tell you why they resonate
" I love my picture. I sit on my sofa at the end of a day and look at her. She makes me feel alive & calm & open to remembering who I used to be. She reminds me that I am still her within. I find it very healing"

“ Every time I see one of your pieces in this style, it’s like you’re talking to me in an energetic language from galaxies far away ”
Lorraine, Jersey
“Dancing the Universe resonates with the essence of who I feel myself to be at my core. I had to have it so I can see it each day! It makes me smile inside and out in recognition. I see and feel the open hearted free flowing energy in the Divine strokes that have created the image and it feels to me like the most perfect illustration of the joyful dancer within that leads me through life. It’s just a complete delight!
