Rachel Houseman

I am a healing artist. I use color to place emphasis on the natural world and believe that the first step in healing the Earth is healing the Self through Awareness. We are in a constant process of "Becoming" and the Human Race has a tremendous potential to overcome great obstacles and become an integral part of the environment and spirit of the Earth. This process of evolution is our birth right, it is healing, synchronized with the natural realm and it is a peaceful transformation that cannot be suppressed. My goal through art is the transformation of our world through creating colorful awakenings and divine connections for the benefit and healing of all sentient beings.
