MARIANNE GOLDYN, MSN, PMH-CNS
Marianne Goldyn is an independently licensed Clinical Nurse Specialist. For over 30 years she has witnessed, walked with and held the trauma stories of many people from diverse communities.
In her early life she dabbled in many artist endeavors, ultimately keeping them under wraps until she came out as an artist in 2021.
“When I close my eyes, I see detailed geometric patterns. This has been the case as far back as I can remember. As an adult, I realized not everyone sees these images and I became curious. Exploring and researching led me to the discovery of Sacred Geometry, the Universal language of rhythm, harmony, beauty, truth, and order. I then realized that what I was seeing were the same images rendered in ancient times by the Sumerians, Mayans, and Essenes. Personally, the images I see connect the seen and unseen worlds, unravel the mysteries and magic of life, and explain the structure of the Universe.”
“Studying Sacred Geometry led me to the rich, complex, ordered chaos of fractals. That is when my inner artist broke wide open. Doing fractal art led me down other avenues and allowed me to connect with all the beauty and pain I have had the privilege of witnessing during my life.”
Today Marianne describes herself as a quantum artist that uses Sacred Geometry, Fractals, photography, painting, drawing, and digital formats to create intuitive images. Quantum because her images are reflective of the seen and unseen world … Intuitive because she is intuitively creating, led by an energy greater than herself. All of Marianne’s art is done, with the intention of love and the highest good for all beings. In this manner, her art is an expression and extension of the divinity within all of us.
Heart Light
(Photography, acrylic, digital on Canvas 28"x21")
I hold a professional license as an Advanced Practice, Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist with over 30 years of direct clinical experience working with underserved, disenfranchised persons suffering with severe and persistent mental illnesses. My professional adventures and lived experience of holding space while walking with and supporting these individuals showed me that I am also a soul catalyst, ancestor tender, storyteller, scribe and artist.
All of my art represents the energy of my soul; the integration of my mind, heart and spirit illuminated. Every trauma story that I heard and every trauma victim I journeyed with that has healed and transformed their pain into love is represented in my art. My art embodies living, breathing emotions of transformation from a deep soul level. As a clinician, the eventual secondary effects of providing therapy and holding others' trauma stories allowed me to explore my own healing and balance through the use of my imagination in art.
"Heart Light" reminds me that in the madness and chaos under the lens of colors created by our immediate environment, lies our heart light...our truth...our authentic self … our Home. Regardless of our trauma stories and the stories of others that we hold, we have the choice whether to rejoice with the beauty of all of the colors of our glorious Universe or implode in the overload of constant exposure. When we retreat within and rest in the light where our soul shines, we tell a new story, one of RETURNING TO JOY.”
As I created “Heart Light,” I combined images I created and photos I took that embody emotions, chaos and trauma. As I let my intuition run free to paint this piece in my psyche, I touched into that feeling of knowing that if I just let my mind step left of center, I could return to the out of control, out of reason, out of sync place in my universe where depression, trauma, fear and pain lie. As I have healed my own pain and a life of holding other’s trauma, I now have therapeutic ways of returning to center … to my true north. The colors I began using immediately became familiarly similar to the chakra colors used by healers, past and present … as I continued with the many layers of “Heart Light,” I realized this piece represents balancing of the chakras and the human spirit … I returned to center and knew the place inside, where my “Heart Light” resides. It is my sincere hope and intent that it makes the viewer remember where their light within shines and brings the peace of RETURNING TO JOY.
