HAPPY SUMMER

Live your best life!

GET INSPIRED

It's official - summer is here, the year is half over or look at this way... the best is yet to come. Longer days, warmer weather, sunshine, and nature at it's best. For my NC folks, trips to the mountains and beaches are an annual ritual.

Fall 2018 - Spring 2019 zipped by; long needed self-care, recuperation, and continued lifetime learning. Without going into details it was a time of self-awareness of the human, body, mind, and spirit. Finding out that you are "only" human can be eye-opening. Flesh and bones have their limits, the mind is another thing.

During my self-care, I re-affirmed important elements of life, we are innately connected to nature. We seek shelter, comfort, safety, nourishment, and companionship. I'm lucky to have all. Nature is more important to humanity than we give it credit. It has the power to heal, inspire and calm us to a state of stability and accomplishment.

My love of nature has always been important. The ability to play outside is not high on the priority list for our youth today, due to technology, video games, etc. Studies prove children that spend more time in nature are more socially prepared adults. For me, it was the freedom to explore, exercise, socialize and define my own interests.

Interests to include art, creativity, reading, and plants. These are my passions, only preceded by my family. I am living my best life. Are you? What are your passions - have you lost your childlike curiosity and passion? Get them back - nature inspires us to live our best life.

DESIGN INSPIRED BY NATURE

Biophilic Design, more specific environments that have natural elements are gaining importance in work environments. Research has proven that we spend 90 percent of our lives indoors. This is not healthy or productive. Environments that incorporate nature increase productivity, creativity, collaboration, improved wellness and ROI for business owners. Homeowners also benefit from the elements of nature, stone, wood, natural lighting, and plants.

LIVING AURA
We are innately connected to Nature. Connections through all of our senses. Living Aura was created as the result of a lifelong learning experience. It continues to change, to morph into art, comfort, and calm within an interior environment. I have learned through the development process that sight, touch, sound, and other senses are applicable to the qualities.

Each sample, installation, and commission has evoked a variety of responses depending upon the client or audience. Some simply want to touch, questions are always asked and the delight of interest drives my passion to share the possibilities and the positive impact a custom Living Art wall or frame can make in the environment.

REFERRAL PROGRAM
We want to spread the word. We are seeking referrals along with inspiring as many as possible to live their best life.

It's simple. If you tell 5 friends and they tell 5 friends- our quality of life will improve. We know everyone cannot afford a large commission. But let's start with a small investment in our wellness. Did you know that Ansel Adams created affordable 8x10 inch prints in order to make photography available to everyone? Same concept, with nature.

Help us to spread the word. Earn up to $100 credit toward your own work of Living Art.

LIVING AURA
Our custom Living Art begins with locating and resourcing sustainable quality providers, moss, plants, and frames. Moss is sourced from suppliers around the globe. Not all preserved plants and moss is the same. Quality, colors and sustainable practices are evaluated. Each frame is professionally hand assembled. Our goal is to create employment opportunities for our community as well as contribute a portion of the sales to arts-based non-profits.

"Nature and art inspire me and bring peace within my complex and busy life. I commissioned Mona+ Associates Design, LLC to create a Living Aura Moss frame that perfectly balances art and nature within my home. Her style and verve have created a unique installation that refreshes my spirit and enthuses my mind. The textures, colors and varied materials help to connect me with the natural world. This living art brings me to a place of serenity and mindfulness."
