A little about me
Hi there - I am an artist and storyteller, with many different skills.
In this latter chapter of my life, I am honoured to share a lifetime of lived experience, offering my art and guidance to those who feel called to journey inward. My focus is on inner healing of the spirit - the inner spiritual journey.
So, JOURNEY OF THE HEART has a focus on connecting to our heart and our intention, in order to live more aligned to our true selves and make use of our innate abilities and learnings.
I am based in Australia in the beautiful Blue Mountains NSW and have been drawing and painting since I could remember.
I also love music of all kinds, and dance. Our garden is a place of creativity and peace and I find being in nature a great way to ground and reconnect, often in prayer.
​
My art focuses on the ethereal and spiritual.
I hope you enjoy my website and my products and offerings.
Blessings, Karen Curran
