About

Anji Main MFA is a contemporary abstract painter and an artist-medium. She is also a naturopath and herbalist, and at a certain point in her life she trained and worked as a dancer and choreographer, a practice which still strongly influences her output.

Whilst working in natural health she began receiving commissions from people requesting paintings for healing purposes. Frequently, and without having specifically intended it, her work was sought out by those who were sick, often not expected to recover, who were entranced by the glimpse of that which seemed beyond normal signs and appearances, and who seemed to find solace and inspiration in her paintings.

Her most recent work draws upon her involvement with herbal medicine, using medicinal extracts of plants as her medium in a series of paintings that are framed as conversations with the energy-essences of the plants she works with. Psychic contact is achieved through a process of deep immersion with the plant, through consuming extracts, teas and spirituous essences, and the paintings are produced by automatic process.

Anji now works as a consulting artist-medium at the College of Psychic Studies in London, where her practice enjoins a three-way conversation between the artist-medium, the sitter, and the spirit communicator, resulting in the emergence of portraits of people in spirit, which are frequently evidenced by comparison with photographs of the person in life.
