Hi, let me introduce myself, I am Cindy Porter, an Animal Artist and Soul Alchemist. I am based in Melbourne, Australia, where I enjoy life with my husband and our two fur babies.
I have an extensive 20plus years background in mixed media & product education, and I have been creating all my life. It was in 2018 when I started to focus in on my art and in particular painting, however that’s the surface stuff, let’s look a little deeper…
I began painting more seriously for my mental health when my hubby became very ill. I would come home from the hospital and I would force myself (initially it was forced) to do a small painting. It was my way to try and cope with what was happening in my life at that moment.
Painting, I discovered was the one thing that let my mind not focus on all the negativity, fear and anxiety in my world at that time. It became my crutch, my lifeline.
Since then my love of painting has only grown stronger and stronger. Painting fills my life with joy, and I continue to paint most days. I create my art to ignite a connection to our animal friends, who I believe heal our souls. My art expresses that heart warming innate connection between our human soul and the animal spirit. I bring animals to life through joy colour and passion with my expressive animal paintings.
Painting more importantly lead me to rediscover my soul self and brought me to the joy of becoming an Akashic Record Guide, a Holy Fire Reiki Master and a certified Energy Healer and Coach. I have found that this Soul Alchemy Energy work truly fulfils me, I am just so grateful for the joy I experience being able to help others through this work.
I find my inspiration everywhere, in the nature all around me, and truly love combining my three loves – animals, painting and helping others – in my work. My Akashic Records & bespoke paintings sessions let me do just that; combine my love of art, animals & helping others. In these sessions I help you to meet your spirit animal guide & then I immortalise them in a bespoke painting for you.
I look forward to meeting you soon…..
