Earth Alchemy I
Description
Original Mixed Media on Raw Canvas
50cm x 76cm (20 x 30 inches)
Framed in Raw Oak
Earth Alchemy I is an interpretive study inspired by the sandstone that forms the walls and foundations of my rainforest home. Rather than depicting a place or landscape, this work explores the grounding presence and quiet strength held within stone — shaped slowly by pressure, time, and elemental force.
Warm mineral tones — siennas, moss greens, clouded whites, and earthy browns — move through layered textures, creating a sense of depth and settled energy. Areas of compression and softness coexist, reflecting the natural variation found within sandstone itself. The overall feeling is grounding and steady, offering calm, warmth, and a sense of arrival.
This artwork was created using hand-crushed sandstone, quartz crystals, limestone powder, tea paper, inks, acrylics, coffee washes, and frequency-structured water prepared and blessed at the Sandstone House. Each layer was applied intuitively, allowing the character of the materials — rather than a predetermined image — to guide the final form.
Before the first mark was made, the canvas was intentionally prepared and prayed over. Written blessings — words of peace, protection, and renewal — were embedded beneath the surface, becoming part of the unseen foundation of the work.
Your artwork will arrive professionally framed in raw oak and includes:
-
A Certificate of Authenticity
-
A Blessed Artwork Certificate, describing the intention, prayer, and natural materials embedded within the piece
Earth Alchemy I pairs beautifully with Earth Alchemy II as a complementary duo.

About the Artwork
Fine Art Originals
A Fine Art Original is a one-of-a-kind artwork created entirely by hand.
No reproductions of the original artwork exist in its original form. Any printed works or cards reproduce imagery only and do not replicate the original artwork itself.
Yes. Every original artwork is completely unique. Due to the layered, intuitive, and mixed-media nature of my process, no piece can ever be recreated or replicated.
Yes. Each Fine Art Original includes a Certificate of Authenticity along with a Blessed Artwork Certificate, confirming the artwork’s originality, title, materials, size, and date of creation.
Original artworks are created using professional-grade, archival materials and may include layered acrylics, mixed media, handmade papers, earth pigments, and natural elements inspired by the surrounding landscape.
These materials are chosen for their longevity, depth, and connection to place.
Some originals may later be released as limited edition prints, while others will remain original-only.
If an artwork is released as a print, the edition will always be strictly limited to protect the integrity of the original and its collectors.
Framing details are clearly stated in each artwork listing.
In-person viewings may be available by appointment for local collectors. Please contact me to enquire.
Due to their unique and irreplaceable nature, Fine Art Originals are final sale, unless damaged during transit. In the rare event of damage, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery.
Limited Edition Prints
Each artwork is released as a strictly limited edition of 30 prints only. Once all 30 are sold, the edition is permanently closed and will never be reprinted in that size or format.
Limiting each edition to 30 preserves the integrity, rarity, and collectability of the artwork.
This approach bridges the space between owning an original and a mass-produced print — offering collectors a piece that remains special, considered, and exclusive.
Yes. Each print includes a Certificate of Authenticity detailing the artwork title, edition size (30), print number, medium, and signature.
No. Once the edition of 30 has sold out, it is never reprinted, resized, or reproduced again. This commitment protects collectors and ensures long-term value.
Limited edition artworks often hold stronger long-term value than open editions due to their scarcity.
While art should always be purchased for love first, owning a low-edition print offers both beauty and collectability.

That is, the canvas appears suspended within the frame without touching any of the sides, adding a dimensional effect with visual impact. Dimensions refer to the artwork only. Add 5cm to height and width for the total framed size.

Stretched Canvas
Ships throughout Australia. Arrives ready to hang on the wall, with wire preinstalled. The canvas 'wraps' around timber stretcher bars 1.5in thick. The edges of the artwork wrap around the frame for a clean, modern finish. This is a great option if you want your artwork to arrive ready to hang at your door. Stretched canvases give the look and feel of a clean, modern finish and gallery feel.
