There is a timeless rumbling that is calling to awaken within us. A primordial calling, to honour nature, to honour our ancestors and our roots, simple, uncluttered, yet dripping in elegance of unfathomable depth. Letting go of our mental conundrums, we are able to explore and express the deep beauty of nature. Whether it be scientifically, through sacred geometry, or even a sensual, sensory delight, wisdom may linger at every turn, at every still point. A macrocosm and microcosm, light is found within the darkness, darkness is found within the light. The deep depths where wounding, maybe transcended, the inner compost fertilising our humus, striving on to reap the harvest of the ripe succulent fruits of our endeavours.
My work encompasses ancient cultures, deep ecology, alchemy, symbolism, sacred union, consciousness, visionary art and the feminine form. I often reference Renaissance or Renaissance type paintings, the sacred feminine represented through the natural world.
My works include printmaking, paintings, and sculpture, that explore nature, specifically the Tree and the Tree of Life.

About SAPPHIRE ROSE ROCHELLE I am passionate about the expansion of consciousness, the arts and the healing arts.
Universal energy or mana radiates through my art and healing arts, to positively inspire and uplift the viewer. It's about going within and healing, to transform our outer worlds.
Where the aina (earth) and the hoku (stars) converge, Sapphire calls upon the universal mana (energy) and the secrets, wisdom and healing of the Ancient Lineages.
The mana behind 'She Dances with the Earth and the Stars' radiates through my art and healing arts, it's about the expansion of consciousness.

FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH TIGERLILY ROCHELLE
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DO ART? I find the experience of newly created work exhilarating, particularly with respect to my own response and the reaction and feed back from others. The thrill of researching the subject matter and the urges of curiosity I have. By conceptually combining so many fields of research, shedding light on what I see are common threads of universal truths across cultural diversities. I give a voice to nature, to consciousness, to honouring our roots and our ancestors.
I am interested in creating works with layers of meaning and significance, a beautiful aesthetic and works that inspire others, enriching lives in the process.
Finally to thrive from my arts practice, as my works adorn the wall, spaces and collections of others who equally derive great pleasure.
Passion, Presence, Pleasure, Poetry, and Persistence…
WHATS NEXT FOR YOU?
At this moment I am engaged in a series of lino-cut works around the vibration of Gratitude, Love and Joy, using the water crystals found in Dr Emoto's work as the centrepiece, vibrating out in the fibonacci sequence, they are based on sacred geometry, biomimicry and the natural world.
I am also exploring the cross pollination of studio disciplines, taking print making into ceramics and I have just completed another tree inspired figurative ceramic sculpture.
I am building a body of work for another exhibition, so I am busy in the act of creation and finding research that sparks my curiosity from which to draw inspiration.
I have been editing a video on my arts practice for my website, youtube and social media platforms. I would also like to create a blog on my site, and/or engage in Instagram, as I am realising how much pleasure people derive from witnessing my process.
Commissions/Works are available by contacting Sapphire, via the contact page on this website.

The central frozen water crystal was found in the water bottle marked with the word love, by Dr. emoto in his water and human consciousness experiments beginning in 1994.
The essence of which is vibrating out in the Fibonacci sequence, the sequence in which nature unpacks or unfolds.
This is Embossed in 23 Karat gold, as gold has been used for aeons within spiritually orientated cultures to raise the consciousness of humanity.
All of this is nested in the centre of the unfolding Vesica Pices, the sacred geometry of how cells divide, the basis of life.
When the human heart is in a state of coherence or feeling of sustained unconditional love, the wave pattern it emits is the shape of a rose.
The rose is a symbol of Love and Romance and has been deemed as a sacred gift of appreciation, not only between lovers and loved ones. The exquisite beauty of this flower expresses promise, hope and new beginnings. it’s fragrance can be potent and uplifting, the scent and sight has the ability to open heartS.
The rose has also been used as a symbol of the goddess, especially for the Egyption goddess of love, Isis, the Greek, Ahprodite and Mary magdalene.
By contrast the thorn, symbolises defense, loss and thoughtlessness.
Butterflies are a deep and powerful representation of life and are often associated with our soul. they are a symbol of joy and luck, of change, hope and life, A miracle of transformation, resurrection and endurance.
The pattern external to the vesicle pices is magnified butterfly wings.
The vine represents the powerful forces of nature weaving life together.
The triskele or triple spirals found on the band of the vesica pices represents the triple goddess or the stages of life, represented by maiden mother and crone.
This work of art may be used as a visual stimuli for meditiation.

The central 23 carat gold panel is inscribed with a frozen water crystal that Dr Emoto found in his experimental jar of water, with the words THANK YOU written on the outside. The ripples are ascending out in the fibonacci sequence, the sacred geometric sequence in which all of nature unfolds or unpacks. Gold itself holds powerful frequencies that the cultures have used to help uplift consciousness.
The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life. It has also been connected to magic, illusion and evaluating emotions.
BIOMIMICRY AND SASER TECHNOLOGY: where as the LASER technology is focused concentrated light, SASER is resonance technology of focused concentrated sound. It is now understood that SASER technology was readily available in the ancient world to lift or levitate the massive many tonne stone blocks, using CONE shaped tools.
The Dragonfly significant to many cultures, has many cone shapes protrusions from the underside of its wings, and what appear to be blood vessels, are actually air tunnels. The dragonfly does not flap wings as does a bird, Instead the vibrates a frequency required for lift. Did ancient cultures develop technology using BIOMIMICRY, from the study of dragonflies?
The Blue Lotus in Buddhism is the symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, of intelligence and wisdom, of knowledge. It is generally represented as a partially opened bud, whose center is unseen, the embodiment of the “perfection of wisdom”. in Egyptology it’s association is with the Sun, the creation, and rebirth.
