Feng Shui changes the elemental energy of your living space and is not only about placement of your furniture. It works primarily with form and color apart from the design element. In my Feng Shui Artwork Class, I will help create paintings that integrate form and color to enhance harmony and peace in your life. Each element in Feng Shui is represented by a shape and color. For example, Fire is represented by a red and a triangle. So to enhance this effect in a room, we paint those features in an abstract form, creating the same effect as having that specific element in the room. And what we see, manifests in our lives. These paintings are like vision boards. They are created with intention by you. Sometimes a painting may contain more than one element, if a solution requires it. These paintings are intentional and confined to Feng Shui principles. If you are seeking harmony, abundance, or some other solution using Feng Shui, this art can increase the balance and attraction in your space. Supply list sent after registering.
