As a child, Toronto born Elizabeth DeVries (EdeV) spent countless hours in nature. She loved to spend hours alone with her wild creature friends. Her deep love of animals, especially horses, and the time she spent in the forests led her to a sense of the beauty of God’s creation. She recognized that her sensitivity to beauty was inborn, and that she viewed all life through a different lens than most. From early childhood, Elizabeth had visionary experiences that brought her into mystical and magical worlds.
Elizabeth writes, "My first love affair with flowers commenced with the rose. Be it a delicate tea rose with the light shining through or the multi-petaled hybrid, they all stir my heart with sweet memories of life with my long deceased mother. Each day of her life started and ended with flowers. She nursed them through the harsh Canadian winters, delicately wrapping them with cloth to avoid the deep ground frost. She taught me to give them loving care, to transplant, prune and fertilize them, to wash their leaves and caress their spirits with a soft encouraging voice. I happily embrace her legacy of love."
As I worked as an artist to recreate visions of the essence of the beauty of flowers, a wonderful healing began to take place within my soul. The colors, the different geometric and organic forms unique to each individual flower created deep spiritual transformations within me. I want to share this experience with as many people as possible. I want everyone to experience this healing and aesthetic journey into the heart of Divine Creation.” While Elizabeth’s early life exposed her to strong academic achievement, a different sort of life beckoned to her as she grew, traveled, and studied at university. She had continued to ride horses throughout her teen years and had become an accomplished equestrian. In her early twenties she packed her bags and moved to the west coast of British Columbia where she backpacked and rode through the glorious mountain terrain, observing the lush floral beauty that surrounded her. Her passion for horses deepened. Her skills helped many unmanageable horses become champions. Her work as a renowned horse whisperer, and her affinity for nature deepened and expanded over the next twenty years.
Since her visionary childhood experiences, Elizabeth has considered herself to be on a spiritual quest. After moving to California, in her mid forties, she spent the next 16 years of her life helping others uncover their own true “essence of beauty” through teaching classes which stripped away the artifice so indoctrinated into women from a young age and let them see, and learn to love, their own true beauty. Her seminars have been presented in Los Angeles and New York, and she has acted as a spiritual counselor to thousands of clients including many prominent business and entertainment personalities. Throughout her life, her love affair with nature has included a special love of flowers. In the same way that Native Americans consider stones and trees to have souls, Elizabeth has always seen flowers as unique expressions of nature infused with the same life force as any other creature, capable of communication, feeling and deep rapport with humans.
It was a natural progression of this innate appreciation of God’s handiwork that has led Elizabeth to want to help others see what she was seeing. Recently, she has turned her attention towards creating mixed-media artistic expressions. Using photography, acrylic paints, and collage she manages to find the unique “essence of beauty” in each flower she interprets, while simultaneously showing us the universality of Beauty. Her works help us see the relationship between the infinitely small and the infinitely large; what the mystics have known for thousands of years, “As above, so below.”
Elizabeth might fairly be described as one of those precious few who stares outwards at the infinite sky and inwards into the infinite beauty contained within a dew drop or the aging petal of a dying rose, and sees the eternal in each of us.I experience God's Divine Handiwork through my individualistic lens...the lens of my soul... I allow the Divine Creative source of My Holy Spirit to guide my soul to enhance and enlarge the view which this original lens captured. It is truly the Spirit working with the soul...and if both are exquisitely blended then it is Spirit guiding Spirit....and I surrender to this river of Spirit in the process.
As Elizabeth sums it up, “To me that which is infinite and eternal is clearly expressed in things that may go unnoticed in our hectic modern lives. It brings me great delight to reveal these treasures and help others walk this path of beauty that I see.”
