talismanic art
mark the moment, give the unseen form.
I create bespoke symbolic artworks to honour a transition, intention, relationship, aspiration or new chapter — translating what is difficult to put into words into a piece of art made specifically for you.
The studio is my temple and the artwork becomes a visual embodiment of the journey we explore together.
Maybe you’ve just moved house, moved on from a long-term relationship, lost a loved one, become a parent, are experiencing deep transformation or you have a creative pursuit/business to bring to the world.
Talismans such as these are poignant expressions of the soul that cannot be communicated with words.
What is a Talisman?Talisman: attract positive energies and power
TALISMANS ARE POWERFUL CHARMS OR MAGICAL FIGURES CREATED UNDER SPECIFIC RITUALISTIC CONDITIONS.
OFTEN CARRIED AS JEWELlERY IN THE FORM OF A SEAL, A FIGURE/CHARACTER, image OR A SYMBOLIC SIGN — THEY are in relationship with THE CONSTELLATIONS, PLANETS, ZODIACAL and cosmological ARCHETYPES TO ATTRACT THEIR INFLUENCE.
In the dictionary it states; ‘Figuratively, any means to the attainment of extraordinary results; a charm.’
The way we will use the talismans is:
to set the intention firmly into the subconscious through symbolic imagery so as to keep the heart and mind fixed on the desired state or outcome.
For threshold that deserves to be remembered.
your artwork begins with…
01 — Discovery
We have a private conversation about what is happening in your life, what you're moving towards, what you're leaving behind and what you want this artwork to hold.
30 minutes · No obligation · We'll explore whether a talisman is right for you
02 — Symbolism
I translate our conversation through my own visual language, drawing on symbolism, mythology, sacred geometry, plant lore and archetype.
03 — CREATION
Your artwork is created intuitively and by hand in my studio, on A3 Somerset archival paper.
04 — Revelation
The finished original is presented to you with a certificate of authenticity.
05 — Integration
We take time to reflect on the completed piece and what it represents for you.
Each piece is unique…
‘Kepri’ is a talisman for transformation — a meditation on the cycles, forces and timing that allow us to become who we are becoming.
‘Kepri honours the divine cycles and the trust required to undertake a journey of personal transformation.
The cosmological systems within the drawing hold us as we navigate our human world. The twelve suns represent the twelve zodiacal phases, weaving with the 28-day cycles of the Moon.
At the heart of Kepri is the balance of masculine and feminine — two forces that must work together for transformation to unfold.
The masculine represents will, movement, activity, fire, focus, systems and order. He gives us the drive to act and move forward.
The feminine represents rest, recovery, nurturance, inner work, shadow, inquiry and regulation. She gives us the capacity to pause, receive, integrate and be held.
Neither is complete without the other. Transformation requires both the force that moves us forward and the force that allows us to rest, listen and integrate.
The Scarab
At the centre of the Talisman is the Scarab, an ancient Egyptian symbol of cyclical transformation and renewal.
The Scarab rolls its dung into a ball and pushes it forward, carrying its own material — its own “shit” — up the hill. The dung is also associated with the Sun, the bringer of life. When the Scarab dies, its larvae consume the dung ball, beginning another cycle.
The image therefore becomes a meditation on transformation itself: what we move through can become the material from which something new emerges.
The Roses
The roses follow a sequence of four, representing the elements, followed by a fifth rose representing the ascension of consciousness beyond physical matter.
The sixth rose is in bloom.
Six is connected to time and space, and this blossoming rose is devoted to the unique timing and cycles through which each of us comes into our own expression.
There is no universal timetable for becoming.
Scorpio & Pisces
Two constellations govern this Talisman:
Scorpio — Personal Transformation
Pisces — Collective Transformation
Together they speak to the relationship between our individual and collective journeys:
That which I do for me, I do for you.
That which you do for you, you do for me.
Kepri ultimately asks us to trust the cycle — to honour movement and stillness, action and surrender, death and renewal — and to remember that our own transformation is never entirely separate from the transformation of the whole.
what the experience may look like
DIRECTIONAL GUIDANCE
Through in depth conversations have a chance to bring the unseen forward and hear the guidance that wishes to be heard.
Because the artwork is more than the image; the journey we take is rich and filled with synchronicity, observation and insight.

“Mars has an infinite knowledge about symbols, astrology, plants, spirituality and the strings that hold the earth together. In a thorough interview she asks thought provoking questions to really dive deep into the mission of the art work. She combines her high intelligence with wit, fantastic artistic skills and very intuitive, creative imagination. The result speaks for itself and I’m very grateful for the whole experience. Thank you very much!”

My journey
Art has always been apart of my life; a life saving tool that facilitated self regulation, integration and reflective time. The symbolic has been my preferred format for expressing the nature of human complexity; pictures spoke in ways words never could.
After completing a BA Hons in Illustration at Kingston University London, life took me on a different journey. The artist within that once loved the subtle language of the subconscious felt trampled down by the commercial world of illustration. This fast paced path focussed on trends, competition and comparisons, was never a place I felt at home.
Whilst traveling in India and reading a book called ‘The Quadrivium’ I found the enchantment with drawing again. The simple framework of Sacred Geometry guided me back to a place of creation that held space for wandering. Within this exploration the mathematical language of nature revealed itself. This new fascination provided me knowledge that bridged worlds and opened my heart to the divine.
Now, I work with symbolism, sacred geometry and natural lore to create talismanic works that traverse multiple planes of existence. The works are my way of praying, integrating and opening conversations.
The studio is my temple.
