 O Lanoo! ~ The Secret Doctrine Unveiled features 19 pen and ink illustrations by Nina O'Connell. Here she tells her story.
I have had a life-long passion with painting. Originally, I studied at the West of England College of Art, and later acquired a Fine Art Degree at Reading University. Whilst bringing up a family I became a freelance illustrator of children's and natural history books. These include Fairy Tales for Marks & Spencer and a comprehensively illustrated book on flowers folk lore called 'Lore of Flowers' published by Blanford Press. I have also been the long-term illustrator of the educational reading scheme called 'New Way'. Besides being an illustrator I continue as a practising artist and have exhibited locally in Berkshire, in Henley, Croydon and London. For several years my work has been influenced by the inspirational work of Sai Baba. Most recently I trained as an Art Therapist and enjoy using these skills to enable others to begin healing themselves through the creative process.
Some of Nina's illustrations are shown below. Click on an image to see an enlarged view.

“Your sun moves from east to west, obscuring the reality above, and illuminating your world of illusion where you see many differentiated aspects and transformations which you do not recognise as manifestations of the divine essence, of the one universal element, which is unborn, undying, infinite.”
