Tilly Campbell-Allen
Tilly is an artist, mum, home educator, and Hermetic, Kemetic, Tantric, sigil and Grimoire loving, Shamanic, cosmic Gnostic, Druid, herbal witchy alchemist, Jungian and quantum physics groupie. Half French half British, Tilly was born 1973 in London and introduced to Tibetan Buddhism as a young child when Tibetan Geshes moved in to the family home and it became the Manjushri meditation center. She then started life as a full time parent to her three children in 1996.
Tilly is essentially a self-taught artist who can hop between style substrate and media but has been working as a professional silk painter in France since 2009. Focusing very much on divinity especially Eastern, she has been part of the Buddhist art collective Dakini as Art (creative sister to the Yogini Project) since late 2015 and She Is Love, another female creative collective celebrating and empowering women. Tilly paints on ahimsa silk with gold, creating something divinely unique. She uses a combination of conscious knowledge and other than conscious flow which allows room for something special within the traditional form. Her subjects are typically iconographic in nature.
She also muses with published articles through Levekunst, Buddhistdoor Global and Funky Raw on the deeper meanings of life and the image/ emotional and spiritual wellbeing relationship as well as some poetry.
As part of Tilly's desire to help heal through art, she also works closely with clients creating imagery unique to their needs. She uses a combination of intuition, her knowledge of color, symbols and archetypes to create an utterly bespoke meditation tool.
