Vasu by Stephanie Laine  means dweller in Sanskrit, which is an ancient Asian language.
‘Vasu is a painting from my series, Citta (meaning mind and emotion). My intention for this series is to explore the interplay of mind and heart (thought and expression) in my creative process. As with many of the Arts, the development of technique and practice over many years forms a sound stage on which  expression can dance. My senses have developed a familiar relationship with my ‘tools of the trade’, the consistency of paint, the drag of the brush, the timing…. There’s an inner sense, or knowing, that evolves from practice that allows the mind to rest. If I can get out of my own way and trust in this relationship, then space opens for intuition to rise and guide the process. My hope for this series is that you can rest in the technique but more importantly, that you can feel the heart and creative expression, as this is where authentic connection and joy reside.’
All paintings are finished in two coats of a satin lacquer for protection and longevity.
