Founder Profile
Lesley Phillips is a self taught artist, intuitive reader, healer and spiritual teacher, living in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. She creates paintings that convey unique, fun spiritual insights through the multi-dimensional language of color and symbol. Lesley has over ten years experience providing readings and healings to hundreds of satisfied clients, where her focus is on helping them to increase their self awareness so they can consciously take charge of their lives.
Lesley’s initial foray into spirituality was through the landscape of her dreams, where she used dream symbols to explore her intuition and spiritual guidance; she was a member of the Rainbow Bridge Dream Work Group, founded by Elizabeth Richards, 1996-1998. During this time she was also trained as a healer by the School of Insight and Intuition, Richmond, UK.
Subsequently, 2000-2006, she trained to become a professional intuitive reader, healer and spiritual teacher at the CDM Psychic Institute, Everett, WA, where she graduated from a two year clairvoyant training program, fourteen month spiritual teacher training program, plus classes that focused on healing, meditation and use of kundalini; Lesley taught at the Institute for eighteen months.
Having a B.Sc. in biology, a Ph.D. in natural product discovery and a successful business career supporting the application of science to heal bodies and help the planet, Lesley has worked for six international life science companies and an industry association in positions of increasing responsibility, where she directed programs in marketing, communications and business development and led business transactions and processes, such as licensing negotiations, due diligence, mergers, acquisitions and divestments.
Lesley started painting for fun and relaxation, in gaps between her spiritual studies and her busy work schedule, but later discovered that her artwork conveys spiritual information that can assist others in their spiritual growth, awareness and understanding. Lesley created ArtVision to combine all of her favorite skills and talents and her business background into a single organization and as a means to balance and simplify her lifestyle.
