Interview

1. Name
Deborah Bell

2. Age
49 years old (young) I have never felt or acted as old as I am.

3. Top 3 interests
Sketching and Painting Faerie and Fantasy artworks are my first passion, then I love my orchids being in my garden, doing a hard days work in it to make it lovely and how I want it to look so that I can sit back after its all finished to enjoy it all, and I love to read anything to do with either fantasy to escape the everyday normality or metaphysical to enable me to increase my knowledge and skills.

4. What skills have you brought to the AMpA
I have been told that my artworks are very spiritual that all my paintings when looked upon spirit has been there with me. I like to think that each piece I create are for specific purposes to aid in mediation or when performing rituals. I am a tarot reader reiki master and a priestess training to be a high priestess of a circle.

5. How long have you had these skills?
Since I was a young child I always loved to draw and sketch, I studied art in my high school years and furthered my skills with folkart and then completed a human form art class held by the local council. I never knew that I was channelling through my paintings and sketches until about 3 years ago when people started telling me what they were seeing or feeling from the individual pieces.

I was a late starter in my abilities only learning tarot reading and energy healing about 6 years ago, and becoming a Reiki Master and Priestess of a circle.

6. Do you have a memorable moment to share involving your gift/skills?
I don’t have a single moment that’s memorable more than any other. However, I do enjoy when doing tarot readings and people come back to me to say you know how you said this or that was going to happen….Well it did.

I also enjoy when someone is in need of healing and I have given them Reiki and after the session they say hey that pain has gone or I feel so much better after that. It just gives me pleasure to help others that are in need one way or another. But I can still remember the day I first sent healing energy to someone and the comment I received after it…. “Your energy is very good but you’re like a sledge hammer. You need to work on being more subtle.”

And of course I do love when people buy my artworks or any of the giftware relating to my artworks because I know that they love and enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.
