Kathy Stanley, M.A., is a Jamaican-born award-winning visionary artist and ecopsychology educator based on the US West Coast. Her acrylic paintings and mixed media artworks reflect portals to sacred art journeys exploring the ecological self, celebrating Earth, the rising feminine spirit, invoking wholeness, joy and aliveness. Currently a Senior Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Undergraduate Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Kathy has taught classes in ecopsychology and other various eco-literacy classes at the undergraduate level for two universities and several non-profit organizations since 2014.
Her classes are designed to inspire confident and engaged participation in the global effort towards an ecologically sustainable society. She speaks at a variety of functions on the subjects of ecopsychology, women's empowerment and work and life balance. Kathy is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies under the mentorship of Dr. Debashish Banerji. Kathy holds a Master’s degree in Women’s Spirituality with Specializations in Spiritual Guidance and Creative Expression. She holds professional certification in Luminous Healing and Shamanic Energy Medicine from the Light Body School of Dr. Alberto Villoldo’s Four Winds Society.
I am a visionary artist and ecopsychology educator based on the US West Coast. My acrylic paintings and mixed media artworks explore intuitive, embodied sacred art journeys to the ecological self: the self that recognizes its inherent interconnectedness with the more than human world. Spirit speaks to me in paint. My art has been achieved from decades of self-directed experiential learning, celebrating earth, the rising feminine spirit and invoking wholeness, joy and aliveness. I do not set out to paint a particular image. Rather, I create a prayer on the canvas and allow intuition and following the flow of paint to see what emerges.
This method of intuitive process painting requires trust as one must bypass the inner critic to allow for deeper messages from soul to emerge on the canvas visually. It is a spiritual, healing and satisfying contemplative experience that has brought me many unexpected surprises over the past few years. Each painting represents a sacred inner journey, sometimes inspired by outer journeys to places that have touched and changed me, such as Kauai and Jamaica where I was born and raised. I believe this type of intuitive process painting is one method of restoring wholeness and opening and deepening connection to Earth. My paintings continue to teach me long after I have completed them. I affirm my belief that nature plus art, equals joy and resilience.
