My Journey

As a channeled visionary artist, healer and intuitive

Born in Neenah Wisconsin into a large family of nine being the youngest of six girl’s one older brother and two younger brothers I found myself retreating into the world of color through my imagination visiting with my imaginary friends who today I now know as The Angels and non-physical beings. As the years progressed the visits became less frequent as I accumulated more information of the outside world. I always felt the Angels around me even though I put down my crayons or paints I never forgot the magical place within me.

So one day in 1989 I began a journey choosing to make a commitment to discovering my own truth. (Wow has that changed over the years as the layers of the ego began to dismantle and my True Self is felt more and more on a daily basis.) I began to draw again which was the first time since I was six years old. My medium at that time was pen and watercolor marker. The images that appeared on paper were abstract filled with color and precision. I view it now as restrictive art, because I wanted it to be perfect, everything within the lines. The precision and perfection that was portrayed in my art I feel was in some way a direct reflection of all the control, pride, ego, in my life. It wasn't until I surrendered (I continue to surrender each and every day my free will onto Divine Will) and allowed the flow in every aspect of my life, that my art would take on yet another form. I cherish many of those drawings today (the vibrancy of colors) and am grateful for that stage of evolution and discovery of self.

In august of 1997 I had a spiritual transformation that consisted of 12 paintings in one weekend. At first I wasn't clear as to what was happening, because as I painted automatically with my fingers feeling the intense energy I felt a deep connection to spirit. Each of my paintings were a colorful visual aide of my life that I had experienced up until that point, as I painted I listened to spirit (Archangel Raphael) explaining to me the significance behind each experience. Since that weekend I continue to paint with my fingers and the Angels, together we create and play. I continue to make a conscious effort on a daily basis to see life without the veil. It has been a wonderful healing tool not always was it comfortable for me to experience the birthing of an image on canvas it was my willingness and desire to be whole to reach deep within and love those aspects of myself completely without judgment. I am very grateful today to have discovered these gifts and the opportunity to give in such a colorful vibrant way. My art is a gift to be shared with others, for gifts are not given to us just for our viewing. I (we) are the vehicle for the information and or expression to be seen or heard and appreciated by many not just one.

Up until November 2003 all my paintings were signed Sheimala a higher aspect of myself and after six years I was guided to begin using my birth name again because I had integrated that energy I guess you could see it as coming full circle on another level within myself. Although my signature has changed the substance of my work has not, it has expanded tremendously bringing into the physical strength backed with conviction and clarity as I continue to embrace the divinity within the I that is I AM. For me it is all about surrendering, staying focused and aligning my energies in pure expanded God Light on a daily basis, and having the willingness to be open to the newness as the curtain comes down on the old. To step beyond and experience new frontiers/opportunities of co-creating Heaven here on Earth for the highest good. Being real and honest with myself even when it feels uncomfortable and my pride wants to have a field day with those old programs. Well, it is getting less and less as I continue to choose to move forward in my mission living outside the veil of illusion.

I view Art as the doorway of opportunity to embrace all aspects of our Divine nature where logic is left for another day and our intuitive God Self is allowed to be expressed in its full capacity without judgment.

For me it is not about competing with the individual next door, I believe, if it is imagined and the desire is strong enough we have the ability to make it happen. Look at all the great inventors, philosophers, and artists it all begins with original thought, our imagination, desire, passion and the willingness to carry it through to completion. It is about inspiring with color in various applications creating a product from an original painting, seeing the painting transformed and beginning the creative process all over again, now that‘s exciting. To have something tangible that individuals can touch, get excited, feel passionate, and uplifted about as they walk into a room in their home or business and say “wow now this is something of value it makes me feel good. That is what my art is all about to be alive in passion.

My studies include different spiritual applications, energy work (connecting into the higher dimensions), healing hands, creative visualization techniques, Science of Mind, the I AM Presence Discourse, Master Universe course, Master Teacher course, White flame initiation workshop, Master of Light course, study of the electronic bodies and 12 rays and a degree in Fashion Design.

In May 2009 I was diagnosed with breast cancer you can read about my journey into wellness at http://Lisa-Ann-Bonfiglio.blogspot.com

The journey continues as long as we walk this earth. It is our choice to delve into the Divinity of our essence and become alive once again; to remember and embrace the I that is I AM. In all seasons we transform, understanding that all life is one within the oneness of all. Remember to laugh and breathe along the way! Lighten Up as I hear so often from Spirit.

Lots of Smiles in Love

Original Art Work by Lisa Ann Bonfiglio

A collection of paintings from 1999-2011

Jungle “ Jungle”

I remember the afternoon in June of 2009 when I got a hit to paint. I was early on in my chemotherapy treatments and sometimes my energy level just wasn’t there; however this particular day something seemed very different. The voice of Spirit loud and clear paint express, bring forth what is in your heart and beyond.
The only material I had to paint on was wood so I picked one of pieces that was lying on the floor in my little studio (the downstairs of my home) and sat for a moment feeling the energy of the wood. I created my sacred space where I call for my Higher Self, Beings of Light, Teachers and Guides through my I AM Presence blending and grounding until we are one. The first color on the wood was Violet soothing and transmuting, next I was guided to use masking tape in pieces in various positions on the wood, this a first for me with tape I trusted and continued in the process. The next color was orange which was painted over the tape. Orange representing our 2nd chakra as well as the color for creativity, form there I pulled off some of the tape pieces as my hands continued to be guided. I sat for a moment feeling Spirit and I as one waiting for the next step. My next color was yellow representing our 3rd charka and sunshine, the brightness in the yellow seemed to lift me into another state of consciousness and I felt so vibrant and full of energy. My fingers continued to paint on the wood purple and green and once again I amazed with movement. I sat in silence and asked “is this done” I heard “yes, we are done.” Feeling the energy looking at this beautiful creation I began to see the symbols. For example the statue of liberty in the upper right hand corner meaning freedom, the oasis off to the center a space for healing and the richness of the tree trunks another symbol of great strength.
I asked the name as I always do I heard “Jungle” which made so much sense.

I believe in order to experience the freedom one must experience the jungle. The energy of Jungle depicts the process of becoming free, whether one is suffering from a severe illness, lack of abundance, or toxic relationships as it all begins from within.

“ Majestic Garden”

It is interesting how this beautiful garden emerged from within. I had a piece of matt board in my work space that began speaking to me it took me awhile to fully receive and be comfortable with painting on the board. One day the energy spoke so loud that I dropped everything I was doing and brought forth Majestic Garden I love how the Angel is present in the Flower Bloom.

“Copper Trees”

Copper Trees was a series of 6 paintings, I painted in the winter of 2004. The dripping of the copper was a new technique for me at the time. It is one of my favorites as I feel myself being drawn into a different space and dimension sitting inside the trees being a conduit for all good things

“Dolphins Orbiting”

Imagine for a moment you are swimming in the ocean with the dolphins where all limitations and fears gently slip away into every wave. Float float float as the Dolphins guide you to open up your energy centers and heart to receive this beautiful energy where ever it needed within you. Visualize the cells in your body receiving unlimited amounts of energy with each passing wave. Allow yourself to receive a gift today.

“Wonderland”

Ah the wonder of a child in Wonderland. The adult who connects to the innocence of the Divine Child and moves with ease and grace in all they do. The magic of co-creating Heaven here on Earth; feel it, believe it and see it to experience the wonder each and every day in your life.

Feel your own magic within and experience it every day in your life. Give voice to your inner feelings and imagination, begin to co-create from your center. Explore outside of the box, venture into fresh territory and use your your imagination to guide you into your power center . Never underestimate the power of your imagination as you tap into your own Deva energy.

“Feminine Sea”

Goddesses and Gods have all ventured into the sea to build castles that seemed to last forever in cities that sparkled in the seven rays. Each city was imbued by one of the seven rays and held the energy of a particular ray. Wisdom, knowledge, truth, compassion, love, creativity, empowerment and balance created Feminine Sea. Bless this day as you co-create with the energies of the seven rays.

“Nature Spirits”

Painted on wood during my journey into wellness experimenting with layers of masking tape

“Lush Green Valleys”

1 of 33 paintings created one afternoon in March of 2010 while I was under going radiation treatments for breast cancer
