Gaia Woolf Nightingall Artist in Residence

Blessings to you! (Sept 3rd – Sept 7th)
I am a British born organic horticulturist, arboriculturist,
permaculture designer, creative writer and visual artist.
Through my work I strive to inspire within the observer a
richer, more intimate connection with the natural world.
My powerful elemental mandala paintings, landscape
designs and stories give us pause to observe, experience
and acknowledge the fragility of the wild places.
I find joy, inspiration and reverence in the complexities of
earths sacred natural rhythms.
The elemental forces of Air, Fire, Water and Earth, that swirl and flow within the great
cauldron of creation, manifest the perfect vessels for spirit to comprehend and
experience itself. This is the foundational motivation for my work.
I celebrate the ecstatic manifestation of these sacred elements through bold and unique
hand painted mandalas. Each is delicately woven with a variety of ancient insular
knotwork patterns, integrating spiritual and artistic traditional practices with diverse
threads. These threads transverse the centuries back to ancient Europe and a time when
art was the expression of devotion to the Divine.
Further I am also a priestess and teacher within the Reclaiming Feri tradition, an Earth
based spiritual path, which teaches that Divinity is immanent and expressed within our
inner landscape, and throughout the sacred universe. This along with my many creative
endeavours has helped guide me towards a more authentic experience of self and sense
of balance with nature. And I am hopeful that my paintings may inspire you to seek a
deeper connection with your Divine self and the sanctity of nature.
