Divine expression

My name is Thea Stone.

I specialize in spirit animal portraits, shamanic art, abstracts, and art therapy pieces in acrylics. I love to brighten up people’s lives and homes with gifts of art that has a special meaning to them.

Why me?

A natural flare

As a child, I always loved to draw. I later studied at art school in the 1990s, and after a break, I returned to art in the summer of 2020. I began with art therapy and intuitive art (mostly abstracts), but I also found myself doing spirit animal portraits for people I knew. In the spring of 2022, I studied shamanic astrology, which involved creating pieces quickly after shamanic journeys with bold brush strokes and finger painting. I fell in love with this form of expression, and found it balances the longer, more detailed pieces I also like to create.

I work mainly with acrylics on canvas, recycled paper, or reclaimed wood, but I also use oil paints and do pencil drawings. I use references for composition, character, and color guidelines, but I don’t do hyper-realism. I like using a blend of suggestive and detailed marks. I often use a dry brush technique where I use only a little paint to build up layers of color with stippling and small brush strokes. I also like to use hints of metallic paints to bring a piece to life.

The Studio

Sunstone studio started in the summer of 2021. It is still under construction, but I can work in the space. I have a drawing table and easel I can use. I still have my portfolio from my time in art school. I hope to frame and hang some of the work around the building at some point.

Supplies

I have high quality Golden acrylic paints, Van Gogh oil paints, brush pens, pencils, charcoal pencils, and color pencils to work with for now. And brushes, lots of brushes!

“ I am lucky enough to have a small wildlife pond in my garden, which I especially enjoy on a warm evening. Thea's intuitive and creative approach to her art is unique. She made the beautiful painting "The Frog Mother," which perfectly encapsulates the sense of peace I receive from my wildlife pond. It now has pride of place in my sewing studio, which gives me so much pleasure and inspiration. If you are looking for a bespoke piece of art, I highly recommend Thea. She is intuitive and sensitive to your requirements. ”

“ "Sunflower Pig" is an incredible painting by Thea that my wonderful sister commissioned as a gift. I have had a lifelong love of pigs because they are intelligent, inquisitive animals with huge personalities. As you can see, Thea has captured those qualities so well. I absolutely adore my painting. ”
