Yellow Rose by Ryan Schnabel
Introducing ...

Fine Art Photography by
Ryan Schnabel
The difference between a photograph taken by a technician and a photograph taken by an artist is considerable.  Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of the artist.  That is precisely the end result of Ryan Schnabel’s work. 

We are delighted to add Ryan to the family of local artists whose work is featured and made available at HolEssence.

Ryan
was born and raised by his family on the east coast in rural Pennsylvania.  He gathered his interest in all things natural from his mother and continues to learn as much as he can to this very day.  Ryan enjoys living in the moment, helping others, and doing the right thing.  He also has an insatiable appetite for knowledge and is currently learning about horticulture, travel and even more about photography. 

To see more of Ryan's work, click on this LINK.  Or better yet, stop by HolEssence and browse through his portfolio.

    Stone of the Month
    Chrysocolla

    Chrysocolla is often confused with Turquoise.  Equally empowering, Chrysocolla is a stone of harmony, both on a universal level and a very specific level.  It can be used to purify a place or remove negativity from a person.  It is a very gentle stone and its energy works in a gentle, harmonious way. It can help ease fear, anxiety and guilt. It is an excellent stone for enhancing communication and creativity.
    Chrysocolla

    Physically – Chrysocolla is good for treating asthma, emphysema, TB, pneumonia, muscle cramps, spasms and arthritis.  It is often used for protection during pregnancy and childbirth.

    Chrysocolla has a wide brushstroke of therapeutic and metaphysical properties that resonate with multiple chakras: base, sacral, solar plexus, heart, higher heart and throat.
