The Works of Sandra Cointreau

My meditative and spiritual life is a rich tapestry of many years of study and practice, often supported by meeting spiritual leaders and groups in the various countries that I have been blessed to work in.

I love doing spiritual abstract paintings that allow me to connect to a feeling or an aspect of the mysteries of life. Here are some of the most recent ones. I often do them between the works that require more precision in the realities of life or in showing movement (as with my cars and horses). They are like mini vacations where I can enjoy the freedom and flow of the paint, expressing itself. A time when the analytical side of me can be shut off totally by the intuitive side. Mystical creatures, visions of the creation of our world, shamanic journeys, magical manifestation – these are the concepts underlying these s.

Many of my paintings involve the image of a hand indicating a wizard, medicine person, healer, shaman manifesting a feeling or pursuing a journey – such as making fire, seeking inner peace, healing, performing a soul retrieval, journeying into the earth, travel through the sylph, balance, etc. As a master healer and shamanic practitioner, I place my hand into the painting and impart a clear intention, then paint that intention. In ALL the paintings with a hand, the intentions are supported forever by unique paints made of ground crystals to embrace the intention of the painting and hold it. A wide range of ground crystals in the special watercolors including: malachite, jade, amethyst, turquoise, hematite, tigers eye, diopsite, fuschite, garnet, bloodstone, vivianite, rhodonite, lapis lazuli, purpurite, and kyanite.
