Hello, I’m Katie Manekshaw – artist, author, intuitive, and founder of I Love Chakra. My creative journey weaves together painting, writing, jewellery making with crystals, ceramic sculpture, and healing arts. Every day, I aim to create something beautiful that brings a little more light, connection, and transformation into the world.

Inspired by the flow of nature and the wisdom of spirit, my work is about deepening our soul’s connection to the energetic forces that move through all living things. I believe that art – whether worn, held, or displayed – can be a powerful tool for energetic awareness, emotional balance, and spiritual growth.

We are, after all, stardust.

This is me with my amazing poet husband, Olatundji, at a recent gallery opening at @saintcloche in Paddington, Sydney. That evening, I exhibited one of my newest collections – Large Water Bowls – a series of hand-built ceramic works that embody the flow and movement of the water element.
