RACHAEL  WILMOT   Illustrious Artworks

I’ve always been able to see the intangible energies around us.  As a child it seemed to me to be easy and straight-forward, and I could only suspect that others saw this too,  but never mentioned it.

It was quite some time before I realised that, apparently, no one else could see ‘the wonder’.

I started-out as a musician. Trained at Huddersfield School of Music, followed by a 3 year Combined Degree in Music and Fine Art at Brighton.  The passion for music remains, but professionally I wanted to paint.  After some years painting figurative works, based on spiritual insights, I decided to paint ‘the intangible energies’.

This coincided  with Healing as a Reiki Master, and 15 years running classes and groups on Reiki, meditation, psychic development, and, ironically, teaching others how to see and paint the energies.

I continue to paint.  On the surface the colour and forms develop greater intensity, while they seem to get ‘deeper’ and more profound.  

I want my paintings to reveal the richness of the intangible energies.  It occurred to me that, in much the same way as perspective enabled a more realistic interpretation of reality in painting, so too the energies could be painted in full colour, with depth, flow, form, and direction.  By actually looking at the painting the influence of the intangible on our awareness and sensitivity manifests.  I’m not sure I am happy with the term Spirit Art, and tend to call it  simply ‘painting the energies’.

The 39 Keys of Awareness took me a year to paint, followed by a couple of years preparing the text  for The Book of Wonder. There were many people on ‘the Otherside’ who made appearances during the painting, as well as my own past life experiences, which I have integrated into the book. Each Key indicates a different place, dimension, and even time, as a flow of energy, which introduces a dynamic or dialogue with the intangible realms. This dialogue is not in words, but is experienced, almost as a field of consciousness or awareness, that you  enter into.

I hope you find them spiritually enlightening.

THE KEYS OF AWARENESS allow you to step into other dimensions, without the need to think, judge, compare or comment - very much like a visual meditation, where you are truly open to the flow of energy.  That flow of energy continues into the present moment.  THE BOOK OF WONDER contains all The Keys of Awareness, with text, and each Key is available as a card.
