Althea Knight Artist- Healer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Althea Knight is an Artist and a Healer. Her work is eclectic, electric and radiates great vibes. She considers it “outsider art” or “Art Brut” which is work created by folks not formerly trained, but with a high aesthetic value.
She has combined her Healing practices with creative work,. I actually think she has found a way to work holistically. In her work, there is not a place where art starts and healing ends. I spoke to her.
(what is your) medium?;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AK;”Originally acrylics on anything: Paper,burlap. canvas.windows. Then later I tried pastels on canvas. Now I’m using pastels on paper, any paper
me; What’s your subject matter?
AK; Oh I go with colour as a theme. the Predominance of certain colours. Its the Spirit as Spirit. I work on the journey of the Spirit on Earth which for me are vibrations, energy, numbers colours- it’s very sub-concious . My work is about the healing of me, and my environment, and the world around us. I am the intermediary. For me, its a spiritual and Holy practice.
Me; You travel a lot how are you able to work?
AK; well i started to work with pastels on regular paper after my luggage was lost with all my work, its somewhere between Italy and Greece.
Me: oh?
AK; Yeah I lost two and half years of work just like that.
Me; how do you see yourself as a black canadian artist?
AK; I am Cosmic Dust Materialized baby!(laughs) i’m a cosmo-cosmic being.
