Contemplative Painting

Contemplative Painting is a visual contemplative journal of psyche and soul. Through movement and the expression of color you will develop paintings that provide insight into the symbolic language of your Soul. Each painting will provide you with a rich allegory filled with archetypal significance that will continue to guide you for years to come.

In 1999 Vicky was introduced to a brilliant intuitive brushless painting method founded by Artist, Andrew Maishman. Each painting is spontaneously expressed via an intuitive frame of mind whereby what initially appears to be abstract becomes a personal symbolic narrative. Andrew states, “Producing a living work of art, addressing the inner need which springs from the soul, is the objective. What goes onto the canvas is not a picture but an event- an event which strives to make sense of all aspects of an individual’s life.”

Certified by Dr. Caroline Myss as a professional Sacred Contract Counselor and trained by Andrew Maishman in this painting method, Vicky E. Mulligan is excited to offer this method of expression as a Contemplative Tool through the lens of Dr. Myss’s theory of Sacred Contracts.

As you begin the practice of contemplating the symbolic narrative you created on canvas, evocative forms emerge and you start to connect meaning as the Archetypal Lore takes shape. Perceiving this narrative has to do with developing sensitivity, awareness, and imagination thus stretching your rational mind into symbolic perception.
