Is it possible for paintings to reflect the energy that expands awareness? Can the experience of people in artworks vary from one another? In this episode of Your SuperPowered Mind, host Kristin Maxwell and guest Melinda Harr Curley converse about how the energy of real scenarios around us can be transferred and experienced through paintings. Melinda is the host of the podcast, The Frequency of Creativity, on the SuperPower Network’s Evolution Channel. She is an abstract painter who uses her art to give energy a physical form. Tune in and discover how Melinda’s paintings resonate with the frequency of the forest so that viewers have an unconscious, stress-reducing, and emotional reaction to her art.
Hello everyone, welcome to Your SuperPowered Mind. I’m your host Kristin Maxwell and in this show, we explore the process of transformation and give you tools and strategies that you can use to transform your own life.
Today. I am really, really excited to be talking to our guest, Melinda Harr Curley, about the power of art to expand awareness. Melinda Harr Curley is an abstract painter who uses her art to give physical form to energy. With both an MBA and a Master of Fine Arts degree, as well as certifications in a number of practices, such as Reiki, Dermal Expression Cellular Upgrade, and Deeksha. Melinda uses her awareness of energy to explore the intersection with art and create paintings that transform the viewers.
Melinda’s also the host of the podcast, The Frequency of Creativity, on the SuperPower network’s Evolution Channel. Melinda, welcome to Your SuperPowered Mind.
Thank you for having me Kristin, and what a great introduction. You said it better than I could myself, so, thank you.
That’s great. Well, luckily I know you a little bit. I’m getting to know you, and so it’s fun to really pull together what you do, as seen from the outside. And I’m really excited to be talking to you because as I told you before we started, I am not very educated in art and I just love this idea that art can be a vehicle that helps to transform its viewers. So let me ask you my first question, which superpower did you discover as the result of mastering your mind?
Well, first of all, I don’t think I have mastered my mind, but I will answer the question from being in the process of trying to master my mind and how I would answer, “what is my superpower?”, and that certainly has evolved over my lifetime and my experiences, right now I would say my superpower is that I’m able to resonate with the energy around me and funnel that energy into the physical form of a painting. For example, Kristin, where I paint, I’m in central Pennsylvania in the Appalachian mountains, and my art studio is a 1928 chestnut log cabin in a state forest. I paint outside. I have a stump in front of an old oak tree, I place my canvas on the stump, lean it against the tree, I’m surrounded by ferns, a snowy mountain stream, and old-growth trees. I really acclimate before I paint, I am quiet and I acclimate with nature, with the trees, with the stream, and just the whole energy of the forest and that’s the place that I paint from.
That’s beautiful. I can picture that and what I also feel, even as you’re describing it, is that feeling of peace, that, at least I, and I know many, many people do when they are outside and really paying attention to being in nature. You said you paint from that place and if you can resonate with the energy and funnel it into a painting, does that peace translate into your painting? That’s a weird question.
It’s not a weird question at all Kristin, not at all. That is always been my intention. It’s like whenever you meet a person. To me, a painting is alive and I know what my intention is whenever I create the painting and each person coming to the painting will have their own experience. Just like when you meet, if two people meet someone, two people will have a different experience and it’s the same way with paintings. Every person coming to the painting will have their own experience of it and my intention for the painting is that it has a frequency level that matches the forest. It’s a very high frequency level. Wherever anyone is in their evolution, they can enter the painting at that level and then as the person expands and evolves, the painting can hold that evolution and the painting can evolve along with the person.
That is a really interesting idea and I want to go more deeply into that, except that we already need to take a break, which is crazy. Can you tell people where they can find you and learn about you and your work?
Kristin, I have a website and it’s my name, melindaharrcurley.com, it has pictures of the cabin and has pictures where I paint my available art. I have a corporate collection because corporations acquire my art as well and also a history of the art that has been purchased and Kristin, I also write a poem with each painting as well. So you can see all of that on my website, melindaharrcurley.com.
That’s great. I will put that in the show notes. And I also understand that you have a new podcast. Will they be able to find the link there?
Yeah. So the link to the podcast is on my website. As you mentioned at the beginning of the show, it’s Frequency of Creativity; Exploring the Energetics of Art, and the link to the podcast is on my website.
Great. All right, everybody, hang on. When we come back, I’m going to go deeper with Melinda into exploring the power of art to expand awareness. Hang on.
