Adrian has been directing TV Commercials ever since, and has been a regular with some of the biggest brands in South East Asia for over 10 years. In 2004 and 2007 he founded two of the most successful Production Companies in the Asian TVC Market - Great Guns Bangkok and Bullet Production. *

The Modern Crone: Season 4: Creative Spirit with Professional Artist Julie Williams
*Creative Spirit with Professional Artist - Julie Williams*
*Julie Williams was born an artist, passionate and creative as a little girl. She was drawn to esoteric practice as a teen, a full-blown Hippy in the early 70’s and then became a dedicated Biba follower of fashion in London. *
*After studying art and ceramics at school she wanted to go to Art School in Brighton UK but her plans were thwarted so she went to Paris for a year in 1977. There her true passion for in Art and the History of Art developed, she returned home and completed a BA in business studies, tourism and law to appease her parents and shortly after emigrated to Sydney Australia. *
*Finding love and becoming a mother at 24 left no time for developing her artistic passion. She immersed herself in ‘Looking at Art’ until the age of 41 when she finally achieved her dream and enrolled at the National Art School in Sydney in 2000. *
* Since then Julie has been in numerous exhibitions in Sydney, Regional Australia, and Singapore including a satellite exhibition during ARTJOG in Jogjakarta Indonesia in 2018. *
*It was whilst living in Singapore for five years that Julie also developed her esoteric practice and deepened her Spiritual enquiry that really shifted her creative practice. *
*Her paintings are conceptual, based on an idea and constructed with attention to her craft, but lately she has felt drawn to clearing her mind of all thought and trusting her Spirit to pull her through a painting. A painting is an illusion of space and it is this playing with space through shape, form and colour that keeps Julie painting.*
* Join us as Julie shares her unique journey into claiming her creative expression fully later in her life, how her process feels as she nurtures concept to finished work, and how important her spiritual practice is for staying in flow and aligned with the truth of her works.*

The Modern Crone: Season 4: Creative Spirit with Anastassia Selezneva
*Creative Spirit with Creative Director - Anastassia Selezneva*
*Anastassia Selezneva first began her creative exploration as a painter in her youth, and transitioned to jewellery design as a new medium in 2012. The desire came spontaneously when she walked into a jewellery supply store on Queen St in Toronto. *
* This chance encounter ignited an immediate curiosity. Anastassia taught herself basic goldsmithing techniques late into most nights and early mornings. Moving between her kitchen counter and her makeshift studio, she experimented with wire wrapping gemstones, fusing metals, and stone setting. *
* Her life began to form a duality; she was a business analyst by day, and an artist by night. The pull to be immersed in creativity was clear and in 2015, Anastassia quit her job, began training as a professional goldsmith at George Brown College and simultaneously, launched her line, Anastassia Sel Jewelry. *
* Synonymous with her roots, Anastassia’s collection is handmade in Toronto, using 100% certified Canadian gold and ethically sourced materials. *
* Since then, Anastassia’s work has been featured in Vogue, Elle, Wedluxe, Brides, among other publications, has walked the New York, Milan and Toronto runways, and can be found in select boutiques in Canada, US and online. *
*Join us as we explore Anastassia’s journey into her full creative expression, how our greater purpose keeps finding us until we respond, her incredible melding of spiritual travel and downloads into her jewellery, and how working with gold as supreme medium. *

The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Kerry Alderuccio
*AFTERLIFE with Author and Psychic Medium - Kerry Alderuccio*
*Kerry Alderuccio’s introduction to all things of a psychic nature came to her relatively late in life. It was after the loss of her adored 19-year-old son, Sam, that she realised that the instinct that she had always had, might be something more profound. *
*Throughout her life she has always been aware of changes in the energy around her, naively assuming that everyone felt such things. But as her loved ones gradually passed away, she always remained very aware of their presence.*
*It was after Sam’s untimely passing that Kerry decided to act on this instinct and look for answers as to where Sam was and how contact could be made. She began her mediumship studies initially by sitting in circle in Melbourne and then attended Arthur Findlay College in the United Kingdom, where her psychic and mediumship gifts became very apparent. *
*Kerry’s studies continue at Arthur Findlay College with yearly visits for two weeks at a time. Kerry believes that knowledge and learning have no ending, just like life itself. It is Kerry’s wish to work with and help as many people as possible to assist them in coping with their own grief, whether that be through simple conversation, a mediumship reading or a tarot reading, where she can gain insight into them in a psychic way.*

The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Biba Logan
*AFTERLIFE with Intuitive Artist, QHRT Practitioner and Psychic Medium- Biba Logan*
Biba Logan is an intuitive artist who began painting after a vision she received in a dream. She began painting with the understanding that she is not the artist, but the vessel that the spirit of creativity needs to be expressed through.
Biba attunes to what she describes as ‘golden access to the light’ which contains all the information she needs as an artist and intuitive and all that we will all ever need. Her focus is learning to attune to that energy and allow it to be.
She began to understand that her paintings are healing in nature. They are encoded with frequencies that are assigned to the people that are drawn to them. Each piece is created for a specific person and when that person receives the painting, the light information within the painting sets a frequency within their environment and they will be able to communicate with their spirit team and receive the healing that they need. They are multi-dimensional paintings and so the healing and connection is multi-dimensional.
After several months of non-stop painting and much success with acknowledgements which was not her initial intention, Netflix took several of her paintings for one of their tv shows being made in Ireland.
Painting released in her a deeper awareness of the way the mystery works.
Biba knows how to paint and how to communicate with those in the unseen realms and bring messages of hope and love to those seeking solace, guidance, love and healing.
She has since qualified as a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Practitioner and has begun to write a book about her journey to discovering the mystery within. It’s to help people enquire and discover their connection to a greater power of light and love within. As within so without

The Modern Crone: Season 3: Afterlife with Bronia West
*AFTERLIFE with Psychic Medium, Tarot Consultant and Crystal Healer - Bronia West*
*Bronia West is a Spiritual Psychic Medium, Tarot Consultant and Crystal Healer who studied with the Spiritual Venturers Association to obtain her Diploma in Crystal Healing. This was founded by Edmund Harold who was a trance medium and linked the clear quartz crystal to trance mediumship. She is also a member of the Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisation.*
* Bronia believes that our own personality and the uniqueness of our very being, allows us to open and expand the mind, body, and spirit, awakening and igniting the flame within our souls. It is the very essence of the divine spark that gives us the zest to search for knowledge, truth and understanding. If we do not understand our own awareness, the energy of our own spirit, we cannot begin to understand the awareness and energy of others, both on the physical plane and those who reside in the spirit world.*
*She is a great believer that our sensitivity and heightened awareness is contained in the very core of our being, within our soul of personal belief system - this is the unique universal energy and power of your spirit.*
*Since her journey’s unfolding in 1990 (and well before then as she can recall events that she experienced in childhood), Bronia has found that there is always something new to experience through our sensitivity of sight, feeling, sensing, and knowing. She is a great believer in unlocking the awareness of the spirit and she has produced an inspirational card deck, “The Awakening of Your Spirit” where each card can be a focus and message for what you truly seek.*
