more
than
80
full-color
reproductions
of
her
intricate
watercolor
paintings
and
the
stories
behind

response
to
the
solitary
life
she
led
in
the
forest,
where
she
discovered
the
hidden
order
of
Nature.
She
reveals
how
she
learned
to
center
her
artistic
explorations
on
the
intelligence
of
the
heart
rather
than
the
intellect,
utilizing
the
wisdom
and
imagery
of
Sacred

reverence
for
the
natural
environment,
and
the
interconnectedness
between
all
things
as
her
inspirations.
She
describes
the
shamanic
lessons
that
accompanied
her
discoveries
and
shaped
her
understanding
of
sacred
relationships
with
the
self,
others,
and
Mother
Earth.
She
explores
how
to
tap
into
the
energies
provided
by
spirit
guides
and
power
animals,
like
Jaguar,
Raven,
Octopus,
and
Dolphin,
and
explains
her
profound
affinity
for
the
ocean,
including
her
discovery
of
water
consciousness
in
Hawaii.
Offering

shares
her
experiences
at
sacred
sites
in
the
Amazon,
Central
America,
Egypt,
England,
Scotland,
Paris,
Cambodia,
and
the
Himalayas
and
how
these
places
influenced
her
art.

PELE'S
SUMMONS
Finding Home in the Waters of Hawaii
Legend tells of a healing triangle that exists in the part of the Big Island of Hawaii where I live. When researching the concept, I came to understand that this triangle is not a flat physical locality, rather it is multi-dimensional and holographic. More than physical, it represents a natural synergy between location and transformation.
Healing the Heart, painted in 2003, was inspired by the deep levels of healing that have occurred for me while living in Hawaii. It relates the healing of the heart on personal, planetary, and multidimensional levels. Mauna Loa, topped with snow and a lenticular cloud formation, sits at the apex of the healing triangle.
At the base a visible coastline progresses from Kealakekua Bay to the City of Refuge at Honaunau. Dolphins and whales frolic in the DNA-like sine wave that moves through the foreground. The beautiful geometric configuration depicted in this painting is the hyperdimensional fractal geometry of space-time.
Pele’s Summons, 2001.
Pele, goddess of Hawaii’s volcanoes, has a profound effect on virtually every person who enters her realm. I am one of many who have felt her summons. Pentagons embody power, excellence, strength, and protection. This is a star portal connecting her with every particle of creation.
From Non-Swimmer to Born-Again Mermaid
I have always known that I am a water person. However, I was frightened by an experience in early childhood and developed an irrational fear of water. When I arrived in Hawaii, I considered myself a nonswimmer. In the Midwest I would splash around in lakes, but was never truly comfortable there. Conversely, when engaging in meditation or shamanic journeying, I always seemed to enter through water. In my heart I knew that I could swim, I simply had been unable to access that ability. Upon entering Hawaii’s tropical waters with snorkel gear a significant shift occurred. I could see and breathe and the salt water embraced and held me up. Perhaps I had simply been trying to swim in the wrong waters. It was an initiation. A personal conversion to the wonders of this phenomenal salt medium took hold of me . . .
I became a born-again mermaid.
A common Hawaiian ocean encounter for many people is an eye to eye meeting with green sea turtles. Due to their gentle nature and relaxed attitude when swimming next to snorkelers, they become everyone’s favorite. Every single time I encounter one of these gentle spirits it feels like a blessing of tranquility and peacefulness.
The paintingGentle Spiritshonors the joyous experience of being in the ocean with green sea turtles. Watching them glide by like water angels and looking into their peaceful conscious eyes offers a wonderful lesson of slowing down and simply being.
Healing the Heart, 2003.
The beautiful geometric configuration depicted in this painting is the hyperdimensional fractal geometry of space-time.
Water Consciousness
Perhaps the most vital component for life, water is so abundant in some places on Earth that many humans take it for granted. We drink, bathe, swim in, and enjoy the marvels of water. By cultivating an awareness that everything has consciousness, it becomes easy to embrace water as conscious and part of our sentient universe.Water has many unique qualities.
• Water is the only known element that can exist in three forms: liquid, solid, and gas
• The density of water increases below the freezing point and decreases above the freezing point
• Water has a kind of memory--it retains a record of things that happen in its surrounding environment
• Investigations have shown that water not only has memory but its structure is affected by emotions
Adding positive emotions to water--be it the glass you drink from, the river you sit beside, or the vast ocean--changes its vibration and viability.
In 2003 I was inspired to paint a gorgeous waterfall located in a remote valley on Hawaii Island. It is said that this location was a powerful place of healing in ancient Hawaii. TheseHealing Waterscascade gracefully over seven individual pools, here assigned chakra colors. The overall energy is green and soothing. Vibrant heliconias and hands reach upward. The Flower of Life matrix is delicately embedded in the background and informs the viewer in ways subtle and ever changing.
Mermaid Dreamtime,2008.
A sleeping mermaid is surrounded by green sea turtles, yellow tang, scrawled file fish, and Moorish idols. She dreams the dream of clean, balanced oceans and exudes the love and protection of friendship. Spirals fill the scene with flow.
My growing relationship with water and understanding of water consciousness inspired me to complete the only triptych, or series of three related paintings, I have ever created. The Water Consciousness Trilogy, completed in 2012, took nearly eight months of researching and painting. Because I was seeking to include as many of the concepts regarding the distinctive qualities of water and water consciousness, multiple visions are packed into this series. The intention is to venerate this remarkable element.
Ice Meditationis the left-hand image of the Water Consciousness Trilogy. This painting honors the solid state of water. The delicate ice crystal in the center represents positive emotions in crystalline frozen form. Both the downward facing triangle and icosahedron are symbols for water. The iceberg reveals its greater part below the water while Auroras light the starry sky. Here you will also see Flow Beings, who move through all three paintings in the trilogy.
Gentle Spirits,2001.
Pentagonal star geometry celebrates these five gentle spirits.
The central image of the Water Consciousness Trilogy isMotion of the Ocean.About two-thirds of the Earth is covered with water, most of it ocean. Water vapor rises from the sea becoming clouds, returning to the ocean as rain. Big waves hold universal fascination. Surfing the waves of this image are the Flow Beings. The lower portion of the painting represents the global conveyor belt, which is a constantly moving system of deep-ocean circulation driven by temperature and salinity. Also called thermohaline circulation, it mixes nutrients throughout the oceans helping to keep her inhabitants vibrant and nourished.
Fresh Splashis the right-hand image of the Water Consciousness Trilogy. Fresh water is the essential nourishment of all terrestrial beings. In this image water is filtered through the rain forest, its freshness cascading down a spectacular waterfall. Water vapor and rainbows rise from this turbulence, which plunges and splashes into a pool from which a spiral of dragonflies twenty-one dragonflies--honoring the Fibonacci series--rise, acting as a template for creating the golden spiral. The waterlily embodies our potential for enlightenment. Flow and transformation abound. Again you can see Flow Beings moving through the image.
Healing Waters,2003.
The waters cascade gracefully over seven individual pools, here assigned chakra colors. The Flower of Life matrix is delicately embedded in the background and informs the viewer in ways subtle and ever changing.

Descriere
In this lavishly illustrated memoir, including more than 80 full-color reproductions of her intricate watercolor paintings and the stories behind them, Francene Hart recounts the evolution of her art from formative influences to her masterful integrations of Nature, Spirit, and Sacred Geometry. Opening with her early work on mandalas and her explorations of the work of Joseph Campbell and C. G. Jung, Hart explains how her first works of art were in response to the solitary life she led in the forest, where she discovered the hidden order of Nature. She reveals how she learned to center her artistic explorations on the intelligence of the heart rather than the intellect, utilizing the wisdom and imagery of Sacred Geometry, reverence for the natural environment, and the interconnectedness between all things as her inspirations. She describes the shamanic lessons that accompanied her discoveries and shaped her understanding of sacred relationships with the self, others, and Mother Earth. She explores how to tap into the energies provided by spirit guides and power animals, like Jaguar, Raven, Octopus, and Dolphin, and explains her profound affinity for the ocean, including her discovery of water consciousness in Hawaii. Offering chronicles of her inspiring travels and transformational encounters around the world, Hart shares her experiences at sacred sites in the Amazon, Central America, Egypt, England, Scotland, Paris, Cambodia, and the Himalayas and how these places influenced her art.
