We were lucky to catch up with Anne Shackelford recently and have shared our conversation below.
Anne, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
The most meaningful project/s are the ones I am doing now. I crave it. I love love love creating. The pieces I am making now are full of so much love and created in harmony with high vibrations & healing intentions. I have been on my own healing journey for over ten years now. Working with crystals, sacred geometry, mandalas, palo santo, sage, incense, sound and prayer I infuse my art with positive vibes. The same vibes that have brought me to this very place of inspiration, balance and joy!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
For me, I must create. It is incredibly powerful for me in my own healing work, to design pieces that mesmerize and uplift me. In turn, I pray my artwork may bring joy, inspiration and healing to whomever sees/ owns it. High vibrational artwork holds the healing intentions imparted by the artist. The energy work done on it, during or after the process, imbues the piece with high vibrations and has a profound effect due to the conscious design that surrounds it. The higher the frequency of your vibration, the lighter you feel in your physical, emotional, and mental bodies. You experience greater personal power, clarity, peace, love, and joy. Using crystals, sacred geometry, mandalas, palo santo, sage, incense, sound and prayer I infuse my art with positive vibes. I am happy to be able to bring smiles and inspiration to the people that enjoy my artwork. I create pieces that are in sync with Mother Nature and meditative to look at. Let our action be the result of undisturbed harmonization of natural elements. The artwork I create is a result of my inner state, the harmonized energy of five elements. “Action is movement with intelligence. The world is filled with movement, what the world needs is more conscious movement, more action,” BKS
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The freedom to do whatever I want. I am creating for me, and that is the most liberating action I can take for myself!
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My goal may seem cheesy, but my heart wants so much to unite us with the beauty and joy inside each and every one of us. I pray my artwork can raise our vibrations, uplift our hearts and bring us harmony.
