Her art is influenced by artists such as Leonor Fini, Leonora Carrington, Jimoh Biramoe, El Anatsui, Bettye and Alison Saar, and Agnes Pelton. Helena also offers classes in various kinds of art and spiritual studies from her studio in Phoenixville, PA, where she works to create an environment of community and creativity.

I believe that the disconnection between the disparate parts of self is what causes dis-ease within society. The items I use directly represent this in my mixed media pieces; each work is another facet of the kaleidoscope of the self merging into wholeness, rejecting the normative standards set by society. Texture is often the focal point of my work, and I am obsessed with how different materials react with each other; the tactility and grit of lace juxtaposed against a smooth wash of color\u2026or a bit of broken jewelry in betwixt beads, paper, leaves & twigs, or some other found object. I use acrylics, watercolor, oil sticks, and ink to create layers of personality. You\u2019ll often find bits of sparkling glitter or jewels emerging from the depth representing the hidden truths of your soul.\u201d<\/p>\n To purchase this work, go here: https:\/\/theshellyverse.square.site\/<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/societyforritualarts.com\/rw\/2024-autumn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/KerryMairie-1024×1022.jpeg” title_text=”KerryMairie” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Kerry Mairie<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cAstraportus\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAn Entire Sheaf of Wheat\u201d<\/p>\n Kerry Mairie<\/a> is a mixed media painter, illustrator, and museum educator hailing from the banks of the Delaware River.

I\u2019ve been integrating healing modalities, such as Reiki and the chakras, psychology, spirituality, and consciousness for over 20 years into my work. I\u2019m currently an Integrative Studies major at Northern Kentucky University applying psychology, business, and leadership to explore more ways to manifest beauty, joy, and love into the world.<\/p>\n
