Artist's Statement / Bio

Trusting the Wisdom in Creation

Helen Murray is a multi-dimensional artist who lives with her photographer husband, Chris Gosso, in the middle of a forest approximately one hour north-west of Toronto.

Trusting innate spirituality and intuition her entire life, she integrated the concepts of the outer world, and with a spiritual accent, successfully explored the academic and corporate environments. Complete with that aspect of existence, in 1986 she left the corporate world and since then continues to devote her time to fully embracing the radiance of creative energy as well as expanding her spiritual awareness.

In 1987 she and Chris opened Crystal Source, in Toronto, a space devoted to offering fine collections of crystals and mineral specimens. They relocated Crystal Source in 2002.

During that time Helen began "stringing" beads and silver, and being self-taught, has evolved her own style influenced by her travels to the southwest - New Mexico and Arizona.

She also completed the advanced course in the art, practice and theory of Crystal Healing at the Crystal Academy of Advanced Healing Arts in Taos, New Mexico.

Her travels, experience and established contacts have enabled her to acquire quality beads and silver for her designs and creations which result in necklaces and bracelets that embody the intent of beauty, joy, harmony, peace, balance, presence and a sense of devotion to those qualities.

Surrounded by nature and inspired by the peaceful alignment with the everlasting quality of being, these timeless pieces are offered in that way.

Helen also creates paintings of the same quality, mostly watercolour, and often with other mixed media, as well as writing uplifting poetry.
