]]>Friends,
I am so excited about my art opening at Phoenix & Dragon Bookstore in Atlanta on Sunday, July 8th, 4:30-6:00PM and I hope that you can join me for this special evening. If you can't make it on July 8th, my paintings will be on display in the gallery room until the end of July during bookstore hours. Paintings, prints and tapestries will be available for purchase at the opening, and until the end of July at the bookstore. They are also available online.
My paintings are mainly focused on the holistic, metaphysical and spiritual. Ever since I can remember I have been able to sense energy and have been fascinated with the spiritual world. The goal of my artwork is to inspire people with the knowledge that they are not alone and that they have angels, guides, ancestors and high beings helping them on their journey. With this knowledge, I hope that people will expand their consciousness and “raise" their vibration.
Hope to see you there!
Namaste,
Jociana

]]>I have been working on another 3rd eye painting. Why? Because I want to inspire people to think about their spiritual bodies as well as their physical bodies. It's challenging to think of our spirit or soul as much as our physical bodies because one is tangible and the other is intangible. But it all starts with awareness. We all have intuition (or our gut feelings) that guide us in this journey of life. In meditation, we can focus on our 3rd eye chakra (energy center) to increase our intuition. We have the tools we need to become more loving, kind, peaceful and joyful no matter what is going on around us. We only need to be still.
Namaste,

]]>I attended a Wesak festival full moon meditation with many beautiful souls in the Atlanta holistic community. It was empowering, healing and unifying.
Weask marks the high point of the spiritual year when forces of enlightenment associated with the Buddha pour into the planet. It is the exact time of the full moon of Taurus - the most powerful full moon of the year. It is helpful in moving projects, goals and wishes. The more people gathering to meditate as a group, the more divine energies can be brought down to bless Mother Earth.
Namaste and blessings to all,
Jociana
]]>I like to paint about the metaphysical to remind me and the world that we are energetic, spiritual beings, and not just flesh and blood.

This is an oil painting of my dog, Jack, a mastiff mix. The colors around him are his aura colors I see around him. I know he looks sad in the portrait, but he's a happy dog and gives me lots of unconditional love.
I do commissioned pet portraits! Contact me for details.
Namaste,

]]>Chinese New Year begins on February 16 and marks the beginning of the Year of the Dog. Tied to the Chinese lunar calendar, the holiday was traditionally a time to honor household and heavenly deities as well as ancestors.
The Chinese calendar was a complex timepiece. Its parameters were set according to the lunar phases as well as the solar solstices and equinoxes. Yin and yang, the opposing but complementary principles that make up a harmonious world, also ruled the calendar.
2018 will be the first Year of the Earth Dog since 1958. What does it mean? 2018 year of the Yang Earth Dog Wu Xu energies are controlled by the earth element in its Yang form. It can be a very eventful year with many changes all over the world. It is a year of social change and also a change to how we live our life; we will see changes in our view on diet, smoking, drinking and junk food. Dog years can bring many changes, good and bad and economically and they are normally growth years although and earth Wu Xu years can also bring the collapse of major institutions and large adjustments in the economy, like stock markets of values of currency, so take care with investments in 2018.
In general, is slated to be a year of good fortune. The image in this email is a painting I did of my former dog, Toby, a basset hound mix.
]]>Why not change and align the energy in your home for love, abundance, health and happiness by simply rearranging, adding or removing specific elements and colors? Does your home feel good when you enter? Are there areas you avoid? Your environment is a total reflection of the energy within you. Are you lacking love, can't find a partner, wanting children, struggling financially, suffer from bad health, receive no respect? Read on...
Feng Shui is not a religion and it is not superstition. It is simply the balance and harmony of the energy of the environment you live and work in. Generic Western Feng Shui only scratches the surface but there is a deeper, more serious method of original traditional Eastern Feng Shui.

]]>WHAT IS THE AURA?
The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds the human body (Human Energy Field-HEF) and every organism and object in the Universe.
WHAT DOES AN AURA CONSIST OF?
The aura consists of seven levels/layers/auric bodies . Each one of the subtle bodies that exist around the physical body, has its own unique frequency. They are interrelated, and affect one another and the person's feelings, emotions, thinking, behaviour, and health as well. Therefore a state of imbalance in one of the bodies leads to a state of imbalance in the others.
WHAT ARE YOUR DOMINANT COLORS AND WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
Everyone has a unique aura of colors around them. I can see, interpret and paint your personal aura. It can give you great insight into who you are and where you are at on this journey. The image in this email is an aura painting I did of my son. His dominant colors are yellow and green. Contact me for your aura reading today!
With light and love,
Jociana
]]>I hope you all had a peaceful and joyous holiday season.
I am excited to let you know about the new item I have added to my store. Many of you are music lovers especially of the House and EDM genres. By popular demand, my EDM festival painting is now available on tapestry. I will also add prints and canvas options of the painting. Also available on tapestry are my solar eclipse paintings. They make a unique wall decor and practically cover an entire wall for the fraction of the price of a painting. So don't hesitate, take a look at some of my art on tapestries.
Warm regards,

Taking time to sit quietly, breath deeply and get away from the "noise", has helped me to refocus and rejuvenate my spirit. Whether you pray, meditate, sit quietly or listen to music, it's important to take time out for yourself. It is the most important thing you can do for yourself each day and is a form of self-love. For me, it's a special time that reminds me that I am not just a physical being but a spiritual being as well. It also reminds me that there is so much more going on than what I can see. I find strength in knowing that I have so many cheering me in the physical as well in the spiritual realm. So take heart my friends, what is seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal.
Please take a moment to browse the Metaphysical Collection of my site. There you will find paintings of angels, auras, and meditation to inspire you to nurture your spirit and remind you that you are not alone.
With light and love,
Jociana
]]>National Arts & Humanities Month was established by Americans for the Arts in 1993 and is celebrated every October in the United States. It was initiated to encourage Americans to explore new facets of the arts and humanities in their lives, and to begin a lifelong habit of participation in the arts and humanities. It has become the nation's largest collective annual celebration of the arts and its goals are:
FOCUSING on the arts at local, state, and national levels;
ENCOURAGING individuals and organizations to participate in the arts;
ALLOWING governments and businesses to show their support of the arts; and
RAISING public awareness about the role the arts and humanities play in our communities and lives.
In celebration, Americans for the Arts is having a #showyourart2017 challenge on Instagram @americans4arts. Each day there is a different theme for posting a photo. To start the month the theme for October 1st was RED. So I shared a photo of my abstract painting called "The Sunset", acrylic on 12x16 canvas. I wanted to approach the canvas without a preconceived idea and see where the brush strokes and colors would take me. Many times, before starting a painting, I spend a lot of time contemplating, planning and sketching what I am going to paint. This time I just wanted to let go and just flow. Well, this was the result and the process was very liberating.
The Sunset painting is available at www.raizeart.com on canvas or print. Remember to support the arts!

I am excited that I am almost finished with a painting of my mom from one of my favorite photos of her. She is dressed as a Biana (see link below to a really good article about what Baiana means), in the 2011 Brazillian Independence Day parade in New York City. She was 80 years old at the time! For those of you that may not know, she transitioned in February of this year. It has been difficult dealing with her not physically being a part of my life but in a way I feel that we are closer in spirit. Doing things that honor her and the wonderful life that she lived, helps to relieve some of the sadness I feel when I miss her. She was always so jovial and youthful, and loved music, celebration and people! She was such a great example of a loving, caring person who served others and loved life. I hope to live my life with just a portion of the enthusiasm that had.

]]>The solar eclipse that occurred last week inspired me to create the 2nd of a series of paintings regarding the historic occasion. With all the turmoil going on in the world, it was refreshing to see people stop and come together to witness nature and its wonder. Hopefully it opened our eyes to how small we are in the universe and how we are all part of the human race and share this planet.
Prints and canvases of the Solar Eclipse paintings and many others are available on www.raizeart.com.
Have a wonderful week and thanks for your support!
