How this all started?

A few years ago, when I began my own journey to discover my creative self, I found that dragonflies, butterflies and humming birds showed up when I was creating. I was fascinated by dragonflies, their color, their movement, their presence.

Then I took a seminar in 2003 and we were asked to share who we are for the world ...I said "Power and Inspiration". So when I created this project I decided to name it something that reminded me of the power and inspiration thats within everyone.

Red in many traditions is the color of power, strength and the root chakra. Dragonflies in many traditions signify the ethereal world, the world of faeries, mermaids, nymphs and other creatures. These creatures often symbolize creative sparks of divine inspiration.

For me the Red Dragonfly expresses my belief that we are all creative beings and we are here to create opportunities for power and inspiration for ourselves and others.
