Soul Vision Experience

October 14, 2011 by linda

Embark on a journey of awakening & access the divine within you.

Do you feel you are on the “right” path spiritually? This workshop will help you keep on a path that fulfills you.

Find the direction you have been seeking through the use of art, collage ( cutting and pasting that anyone can do) and meditation.

You will embrace your new creative self you are matter what your artistic background.

You will receive a channeled portrait of your soul by Linda as the basis to work from.

You will be taken on a guided meditation to begin your journey.

“I will be there to help guide you, using techniques I’ve learned by Shamans (ancient wisdom keepers) to assist you in working with your own inner guides.” says Linda.

All of this will help jump start YOUR creative process. You will feel an immediate connection to the images and ultimately see beyond them.

The cost of the workshop is $59  (includes  supplies). Brushes, paints and collage materials will be supplied. Feel free to bring an assortment of things that feel special to you such as feathers, beads, fabric pieces or other special small flat items

Here is what one participant had to say…

This artisan workshop is a cathartic and transformative spiritual experience. The divine as channeled through Linda offers participants personal guidance, support and direction while encouraging personal development through the arts and meditation. Her workshop embraces everyone at every level of spiritual growth and artistic background. Soul Portraits is a revolutionary approach to communicating on deeper, symbolic levels with spirit as well as higher self. Embark on a journey of awakening and access the divine within.

Goddess Vision Comes To Newburgh

September 29, 2011 by linda

Goddess Vision

Thursday Oct. 6 th

7-9 pm


Exhibit runs…

Oct. 6 – Nov. 30

Sat. & Sun. 10 am – 2 pm


Linda Richichi, Intuitive Artist

Goddess Vision

The Goddess energy is one that I have recently begun to channel. She first came to me as I did a portrait of my niece. Each time I went in to add more to the portrait, more of the Goddess would present herself to me!

Before that experience, I knew very little about the Goddesses and the energies they have presented over the ages. With each stroke of the brush, I learned more and knew that this was just the start. She was persistent. Better yet, she was insistent!
The results are here, today.

Trusting the message

What you will see and read came directly through my heart. I was merely a vessel, a note taker, an artist performing the Goddesses’ wishes.
I have learned to trust what my heart tells me and leave my head out of it.

I truly believe the Goddess is screaming to be acknowledged so that she can assist us through a universal transition. It is a transition many feel is inevitable and her powers will be greatly needed.

Let your heart be your guide

As you view each of the Goddess portraits, resist the urge to read her message. Instead, let your heart be your guide through this exhibit. Which Goddess speaks to you? Then go back and read. It will be as though the Goddess is speaking directly to you just as she spoke to me.

“There isn’t a woman among us who

hasn’t felt the Goddess energy.

Themother, daughter, virgin, wife, warrior, just name her !

These may feel like roles we play in life,

but stronger forces are at work and

she is beautiful and is waiting to be revealed.”



Plein Air Artists Paint the World

September 14, 2011 by linda

The setting for The International Plein Air  Painters Worldwide Paintout at SUNY Orange Newburgh Campus was perfect.  Driving to the campus you could see a low cloud hovering over the Hudson River.

Then an island in the sky (Mount Beacon) was captured by the early birds.

As the clouds traveled down river more artists appeared.

There were others who just came to watch and many who helped the event be a success.

Finally we wound it up with a small drum circle that worked together to keep that beat going. It was fun.

Below you can see all who came out to paint. I’ll post all the names when I am back in my office so that I spell names correctly! I will post more of the paintings as well.  Join us next year!

The painting below of an artist painting is mine. The artist is Gene Bove and his painting is pictured. The works of art for next year’s promotional material is Garin Baker’s, Mary Sealfon’s and Gene Bove’s.  Congratulations to all who participated.

INTUITIVE ART WORKSHOPS

August 29, 2011 by linda

I am now offering three Intuitive Art workshops. The first one is Nature Vision. When I paint or draw, there is an energy that reaches me on a profound   level. I think that’s what first drew me to painting outdoors. It’s as though I am tapping into the divine. These workshops are held in California in March (details to follow) and in the summer in the Hudson Valley and this year in Cinque Terre, Italy.

Then, intuition takes over, channeling images and ideas that are there to tell me something. Sometimes it feels like a riddle, but ultimately, when I trust the process, what I need to know is revealed. Often, the message was something I had been looking for all along. You have the power to do that as well!  This workshop is called Soul Vision.
When we let it, intuition can play an important role in our lives providing us with insight that comes from our inner voice. It seems even “O” Magazine agrees. The August issue featured “Let Intuition be Your Guide”. I know I’m on the right track if it’s the same one as Oprah! That’s why I am so excited to be introducing these Intuitive Art Workshops. They will focus on areas that have moved me forward in my art and life.  In each, I will help guide you to move into your intuitive self. From that place of deeper knowing, you can speak your truth through art.

The Soul Vision workshop will be held September 18th at my studio from 2 -5 pm. In preparation for it, you can send me a photo of yourself (optional).  The day of the workshop I will share with you some of the channeled images that came to me from that photo. Think of it as a way of jump- starting the process for you! I have found that most people feel an immediate connection to the images I get, and ultimately see beyond what I have shown them. The same will happen with the workshop, except you will be taking those images and creating your own Soul Portrait. Click here for more details and to register.

Finally, the Goddess Vision workshop lets us tap into the Goddess within. There isn’t a woman among us who hasn’t felt that energy. The mother, daughter, virgin, wife, warrior…you name her! They may feel like roles we play in life, but trust me, stronger forces are at work and she is beautiful and waiting to be revealed. Reaching into our intuitive self and using art as your medium, your Goddess will be drawn out. The Goddess Vision workshop is scheduled for October 22nd from 1-4 pm at the Center for Knowing, Being, Doing at 372 Fullerton Ave in Newburgh. Click here for more details and to register.

Channeled Goddess Portraits will also be on exhibit there from Oct. 6 – Nov. 30th, 2011. The opening for that exhibit is October 6th from 7-9pm.
Our intuition is an incredible source for knowing. What you learn in these workshops apply to life so don’t miss this opportunity. Reserve your space at either or both workshops today by calling the studio. 845 527-1146 (Limited seating so register early)

Studies are paramount

August 16, 2011 by linda

Saturday my husband and I took a couple miles hike up Storm King Mountain. (Not as long as last weekend’s 5 mile hike yet it was much steeper). It was the first time there for me. Vinny showed me some of the Hudson River’s best views.  I took the time to make some small studies and took lots of reference photos. In my opinion, photos alone do not give me the necessary information for what I aim to capture. Here is my recipe for painting large back in the studio since it would be difficult to bring a large canvas up the mountain. (30″ x 40″ or above)

1. Take a photo, yes.
2. Make a few small sketches noting colors and the desired composition.
3. Ideally doing a small work in the medium of choice is best. If not, I make lots of color notes on my sketch.
4. Sit and memorize what you like about the scene.
5. Get in the studio before you forget.
I look forward to showing you what this day’s adventure turns into.

From Opera to Sound Healing

July 1, 2011 by linda

Lisa Baggio Barron will be the special guest at the Color & Energy Painting Workshop on July 8th from 7:30 – 8 pm

Electric Sky by Richichi

This workshop features getting in touch with all your senses to learn to expand the energy you bring to your paintings.

Lisa Barron is well-acquainted with the Power of Sound. She was trained as an opera singer but chose to use her vocal gifts in a different way: through the Power of Sound Healing Frequency. Blending her vocal abilities with fine-tuned intuition allows her to access multi-dimensional realms to facilitate Healing of the Soul through Sounds. Using her voice and crystal bowl vibrations offers a unique tonality propitious to healing down to the cellular level.

“When I first heard the voice of Lisa Baggio Barron, I felt as if I just received that which I have been searching for. I am so excited to have her perform for us at the Whitecliff Vineyard in Gardiner, NY  from 7:30 to 8pm on July 8th. There is space for 10 others to join us for this segment and hear her exquisite voice.”

( No charge, unless you feel inclined to give her a tip.)

A Rainbow Bridge

May 12, 2011 by linda
Moving between the two worlds by Linda Richichi

When you understand your purpose, life takes on a whole new meaning.  When you are unsure of why you are here and doubt your role, life at times can be difficult.

I am wondering how many people feel that “giant” within as I have heard it named? I wonder how many other people don’t accept their gifts because to do so would make them stand out in a crowd?
We are more alike than different.  I ask you…. Who are you?   What is your gift?   Do you remember?
My good friend Lisa Jimenez, author of Conquer Fear, used to see past my fears. She would tell me she just doesn’t see all the excuses I would give her. She only saw what I was capable of.  How could that be?  Doesn’t she know that my life if different than it used to be?   I don’t live in paradise anymore? (We used to be neighbors in South Florida).  I couldn’t see it yet, she kept encouraging me. I kept thinking she was wrong! I couldn’t possibly be all that she saw. Fear had a strong hold on me.  Funny thing though, I did see it first, I knew. I just didn’t want to believe it, I didn’t trust. What if I tried and I failed. Worse yet, what if I tried and I succeeded? That was even scarier.
Thank you Lisa for not giving up on me. I now accept my gifts, all of them. Now it is my turn to hold the space of truth for others. As people come to me to draw their Soul Portrait, I get to see their brilliance. It is my turn to give them a glimpse of what they already know is true.   I love this!
