About the Artist

VL Parker is a spiritually inspired author, poet, visual artist and speaker. Her work, characterized by abstract art and spiritual themes, serves as a symbolic and surreal journey. Through her creations, she seeks a deeper connection with the Creator, her ancestors, and her true self, facilitating healing and authentic self-expression.

VL believes that partaking in creative pursuits draws us closer to the Creator himself. There is freedom and healing and transformation when we let the Spirit of God flow in us, and through us.

VL said that, “God is the creator of all things, and He fashioned us in His own image and likeness. When we create alongside God, we encounter the Divine, allowing His Great Spirit to flow through us.”

A an Ojibwe-Celtic, Christian, Creative, and a Spirit-led visual artist, author, and poet, she is proudly calling Alberta home . She cherishes her First Nation and Irish heritage and hopes to honor her ancestors In all her endeavors. This Alberta artist always seeks to honor the Creator, through her co-creation with Him.

Mrs Parker enjoys taking the whispers of the Spirit into her soul and unveiling them through various creative expressions, engaging in a co-creative process with the Creator. She guides others in the practice of tapping into the subconscious divine through their own imagination.

Her creative works often reflect the triumph of light over darkness, focusing on hope, healing, and connection to the Divine and the world around us.

In both her writing and visual art, VL engages in Spirit-led creation. Regardless of the medium, be it acrylic, oil, watercolor, or resin, her process begins by inviting the Great Spirit to co-create with her.

Whether writing or painting, she resonates with Maya Angelou’s words: “We come from the Creator with creativity. I think that each one of us is born with creativity.”

Believing that we are all meant to create, VL echoes Albert Einstein’s sentiment: “Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world, letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy.”

VL added, “It is no wonder that great art transcends time.”

Sometimes VL is inspired by a vision, a dream or a photo, such as one of her daughter, where VL was inspired to capture, Jessica’s Beauty, as seen below. Other times the artist will draw or paint a conceptual piece and then create it. The artist in her abstract, random nature, will also sit down and pray, and paint with her Creator, to music, in worship, after smudging, to a lit candle or incense, or after meditation.

Portraits

“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.” Oscar Wilde

I agree with Mr. Wilde. Still, I hope that I capture an essence of my subjects, but perhaps it is merely how I see them, and thus you see a part of me.

” Color is a power which directly influences the soul. ” Wassily Kandinsky

Cinqua terra by VL Parker

” I have often painted works with colors of passion, of light and of darkness, but I love when I am motivated to use a pallet of electric energy and life. My favorite works are when there is a fusion, when they meet on the canvas. When complete, the painting has a power all of its own.” VL Parker

Dragon Beauty is a special piece of Allegorical Art drawing from the artist’s Celtic heritage and a friend’s heritage. It was inspired by a friend who was born in the year of the dragon. The red dragon symbolism is associated with Celtic leaders, it symbolizes their right to power. VL was inspired to celebrate her friend’s, strength and beauty. The Dragon in Asia is not only a powerful sign to be born under, but a fortunate one. This piece is a fusion between the two cultures.

Photography

VL believes that our Creator is the greatest artist of all, and thus loves to capture the works of his hands through Photograpy. She often paints inspired from the photos she has taken, but appreciates a photo of a subject, in their most realistic natural state.

“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” – Karl Lagerfeld –” VL agrees with Karl and also with Burk Uzzle who said,” Photography is a love affair with life.”

VL would add. ” It is a love for God’s creation and seeing the fingerprints of God everywhere arround you and his essence in everyone and everything. Connecting with the Spirit of Creation helps you become one with him and one with his universe. This artistic medium also can help us beome one with eachother and catch a glimpse through the eyes of God with the eye of a camera.

I am just a novice hobby photographer, but I love to capture that special fleeting moment, before it’s gone.”
