About Me
- Maristha Schellink
- This space is to display my paintings. May it inspire and uplift you. I paint who and what I am, so as I change, my paintings change too. I was born in South Africa in the Eastern Cape province and grew up in the small town of Oudtshoorn - part of the Little Karoo - a landscape of intense colours. I loved art and painting from an early age, but for years practiced it as a hobby only. For many years I worked in many different fields of the health industry. I became interested in alternative health - what attracted me was the holistic approach and that the person is actively involved in his/her own healing. I did various courses in energy work (Reiki, Shambhala). In 2006 I went through a healing crises - after examining my life, I decided to focus on using my gifts to celebrate life and to encourage others who have similar issues. I devide my spare time equally between painting and doing energy work. I do a combination of NES (new energy system) and Reiki plus acupressure.
