Caris Pepper is a multifaceted artist, therapist, and healer whose work is deeply inspired by the natural world and the feminine essence. Raised in South Western Australia’s Great Southern coastal forest region, Caris’s connection to nature and the etheric began early in life, shaping her artistic and therapeutic approach.

Her practice spans various mediums, with a focus on acrylic painting, which is imbued with emotions, healing energies, and the tranquil beauty of nature. Each artwork acts as a bridge between the seen and unseen worlds, inviting viewers into a space of reflection, healing, and connection. Drawing on her gift of clairvoyance, Caris channels vibrant colours, textures, and ethereal energies, creating work that resonates on a deeply spiritual level.

Caris’s artistic journey has been enriched by travels across diverse cultures, fostering a deep appreciation for the harmony between humans and the environment. Through art, Caris seeks to spark healing and evoke the subtle, transformative power of nature, offering an immersive experience that transcends words.

Her works have been exhibited internationally, and they continue to evolve, exploring the intricate relationships between humanity, nature, and the divine.

My creations delve into a profound exploration of the natural world, channeled messages, and the essence of femininity

I hold an intrigue for light, nature, and the profound connection to the land, which has led me to live and experience different countries, cultures, spaces, and places. To be in harmony with my environment is of utmost importance to me.

I see the world as a magical place full of textures, colours, and vibrancy, where I notice shades of colours, auras, and the subtle interplay of light. My sensitivity to the environment easily inspires me, and life, like my art, revolves around rhythms and the inherent interconnections.

In my artistic journey, I serve as a vessel for visions that transcend the boundaries of the visible world. From an early age, I have held the gift of clairvoyance, blessed with the ability to see colours and auras in their most vibrant hues and attuned to the subtleties of sight, hearing, and feeling. Through my inner vision, and deep relationship with God, I access the depths of our dimension, witnessing energies, beings, and visions that inspire my art. Each stroke of acrylic paint breathes life into abstract scapes, capturing the essence of ethereal and physical environments I have experienced. These vibrant artworks are more than mere artistic expressions; they hold the essence of healing energy, imbued with the intention to inspire and uplift. Drawing from pastel and sunrise colours, each piece emanates the profound beauty and tranquility of nature.

Whether I am responding to my environment or a particular moment in time, my creations tend to channel visions, emotions, and healing, influenced by cultural experiences. Predominantly using acrylics on canvas, my art reflects my appreciation of the environment through colour choices, subjects, and techniques. I enjoy portraying what I am or have felt, sensed, or experienced; whether it has been influenced by a place, space, or a being.

My purpose as an artist is to be a channel of inspiration, inviting viewers to step into the healing realm of my art, connecting with the energies and visions that flow through me and my heart. My art is feelings expressed where words can not convey them. Just as I embark on a transformative and enlightening journey in the creation process, I wish for those who experience my art to embark on a journey of their own.

I divine to weave healing energy and imbue emotion into my creations. Each piece I craft is the result of an intricate interplay between my environment, my state of being, and the higher powers that guide me.
 
In my practice, the natural world around me serves as both muse and medium. The beauty and vibrancy of nature’s elements are not merely observed but absorbed, becoming integral to the art I create. This symbiotic relationship fosters a profound connection, allowing me to channel the healing energies inherent in our world.
 
Moreover, my creative journey is deeply interwoven with my spiritual path. I believe that higher powers work through me, guiding my hand and infusing my work with divine intent. This sacred collaboration ensures that each piece carries a unique energy, capable of resonating with and healing those who encounter it.
 
The emotions I imbue into my art are reflections of my inner landscape, influenced by the inter-subjective relationship I share with my surroundings and spiritual guides. This dynamic process allows my creations to transcend the visual, offering an immersive experience that speaks to the soul and promotes healing and self-acceptance.
 
Colour Selection
 
Choosing colours for my art and vulva commissions is an intuitive and collaborative process, similar to how I approach painting healing art. However, in this case, there’s an extra factor and a different channel I connect to.
 
I do offer commission clients the option to choose a specific colour if they have one in mind for their space, or if they feel a particular colour represents them or is a favourite. However, one of the most exciting parts of those sessions is discovering what colour will emerge.
 
Explaining how this colour choice works with words is a bit challenging. I let the colours come to me naturally, drawn from open channels and guidance or the client’s energy. During the session, I see and experience these colours as they reveal themselves while I’m observing and presence. It becomes a beautiful co-creation between their vulva and the brush or myself and God and my environment.
