What is Stem?

My Name is Claire London - Bear The Artist. Thanks for taking the time to check out my Project

 

I wanted to explore my art and the part it has played throughout my life, it has not only helped me through hard times it has also helped me make sense of healing and the mystical powers the universe has to offer.

 

In 2008 I had a stem cell transplant at the UCH hospital in London as a result of having reaccuring Hodgkins lymphoma after being in remission for 10 years. During my treatment I was offered spiritual healing in my sessions I had interesting positive results of healing visions.

As an artist I knew I had to share this through my art so I started painting and researching into art/healing. As I painted I realised my vision became a creative story to heal myself, it gave me hope, and restored my brokeness.

 

Did art really heal me? A controversial question I know but the more I painted the more I believed it did.

I felt more and more connected to my works and I could feel there was more than just a healing process going on it felt like a quest or a kind of magic showing me a different way to look at healing through my art.

This was a very exciting time for me and during my works I would encounter some amazing stories of magic and wonder.

 

I travelled right back to my childhood and it wasn't until I started to piece together this exhibition new stories would appear and connect with the old.

 

Tall dark shadow people standing in doorways, the spider lady with long red painted nails, being sucked into a large metal vacuum like structure and seeing bird like angels looking down at me, meeting spirit guides, floating across open plains, running with wild horses and being carried by monks into a stone temple these are some of my visions and play a big part in my ability to understand more about spiritual healing through art and my amazing journey through life.

 

I would very much like to share with you some of my stories, my art and how they help me find a way to see spiritual connections and create what I hope to be an exciting new body of work.

I am now looking for some extra help to bring it all together. This year I would like to exhibit my works in a place that would benefit the right kind of people (public places, health authorities, galleries, art organisations).
 

I hope to reach people online through my website and in a gallery exhibition

I believe my project is an interesting way to look at healing within our minds and I hope it gives people the skills to find their own kind of healing through art.

The unseen world pulls us forever closer to our ancestors way of thinking. We only need to think a little different and the universe will show us all we need.

Funding for this project is essential and will help me push this project forward so I can reach the right people I have been able to part fund some of the project myself and have been working on my paintings for the last 9 years using a mixture of medias and technics. I would love to publish some of my stories images for people to purchase, and have music/audio and installation works in progress.

 

Please message me any questions in relation to my works
