Please join us to celebrate the art of Heather Marie Aqualis (Owens). Heather’s exhibition titled, Transformation, is based on one of her favorite pieces, called “Luminous Labradorite.” Labradorite comes in multiple colors and depending on the angle, you can see its flash/glow. Labradorite is known for its transformative, magic/psychic, and protection properties. It is used with the throat, third eye, and crown chakras. In addition, Heather included a snake artwork from a mosaic in Dublin to reference the Year of the Snake and transformation, healing, and divine feminine properties. 

Except for the snake artwork, all of the photos in this series are from my collection and they have been energized with Reiki. I started creating the crystal series in the late spring of 2020 when I needed an arts outlet. I have a kaleidoscope-inspired software that I bought over 12 years ago at a quilting fair that I used originally for flowers, fireworks, abstract art, and more. Once I upload the photo, I move the repeating section on parts of the photo and decide on the pattern. To amplify the energy of the crystal, I have the artwork printed on metallic or pearlescent paper.   

About the work Heather writes:

I enjoy learning anything related to the holistic and metaphysical realm including acupressure, astrology, chakras, clair capabilities, crystals, energy healing such as Reiki, essential oils, oracle cards, and sound bowls.
