| Jeanne Fry is a Visual Artist, Musician,Storyteller, and Writer. She is a Member of the International Organization on Arts and Disabilities ~ VSA. I am a Folk Artist who creates Art Dolls, Assemblages, and Paintings. My Art Doll creations are diverse, some being sculpted from Gourd, all Clay sculpts, or Mixed Media Assemblages that incorporate clay, cloth,and natural materials. I write a story that goes with each of the dolls, that tells "her" story, which has always been a very important part of my creating. Their themes range with my mood, from Folk to Whimsical, Fantasy to Natural. Each of them are meant to be inspirations to their collectors, and stated by many of their new owners to be "companions for the spirit". Smaller versions of the dolls are also made as ornaments or wall hangers. My collection is called The Wisdom Keepers, because they represent all the different facets of being a woman, cultural lines, and our possibilities. I am also a Folk Painter, who paints on anything that is available to me: canvas, wood, stone, or gourd. |

Feng Shui Consultations by Jeanne Fry Creating personal and sacred space in the our homes where we can rejuvenate the mind and body and focus our intentions on that which we desire to create is such a rewarding practice. I strongly believe in the Power of Intention, and find that using Feng Shui allows us a wonderful forum to do that in. Your home is a reflection of who you are. It is here that you return at the end of the day for nurturing, inspiration, and renewal. Feng Shui has existed for thousands of years and originated in China. Quite simply it is the Art of Placement. We use this art of placement to arrange our furniture and symbolic treasures in a way that produces a more harmonized tone and provides us greater comfort and ease. Using the Bagua system, in which I also combine elemental focus, assessment of energetic ley-lines, and intention coding, Feng Shui focuses on nine basic areas: Wealth/Abundance, Fame, Love/Relationships, Family, Health, Children/Creativity, Wisdom, Career, and Helpful People. Within my consultations we begin by assessing what your current goals are and what you are desiring to change or create. We then do a walk through of the home, attention given to those areas that you don't particularly feel comforting to you and that you would like to improve. We consider the goals and intentions already discussed previously and recommendations are made in how to improve the Bagua Sectors involved. Available for Homes or Businesses |
