Evangeline Barbour Designs Artist•Designer•Holistic Healer•Intuitive Guide. Eden- a serene space for creativity, healing, & spiritual growth. It is a profession that I have settled in.

Blending design, handmade art, & holistic practices, I offer a uniquely intuitive & transformative experience in this digital sanctuary. As a young child I remember being fascinated with art, creating, spirits, and all things mysterious, magical and mystical. Having an extremely vivid imagination, I would often prefer reading books to movies because my version was always better. There was one instance where my mother walked into my room and heard me talking to myself, horrified, as if I was schizophrenic or something. I told her I was acting out conversations for a story that I was writing, putting her at ease. However, now, I am not entirely sure it wasn’t spirit I was talking to. As I grew older, I followed the “societally approved” path of Graphic Design for 25 years. Today, I have come to appreciate the complex composition of elements and how they emote emotion of the viewer. And yet, my true love is and always will be the arts and creating. It wasn’t until much later that I found myself on a journey of exploration- artistically and spiritually. Que in more self directed art, healing, yoga, herbs, crystals, essential oils, spirits (the non alcoholic kind) and all things mystical, magical and mysterious. I made a promise to myself to live authentically regardless of society and expectations. Finding myself to be a mixed media artist, I began playing with different mediums and elements in my work. It wasn’t until I got so frustrated by the deaths of multiple bonsai trees, that I decided to create one that would never die. Trees became my passion- Trees of Life, Zen Gardens, Sun Catchers... that fire started taking on a life of its own. And yet, I never realized how therapeutic it all was until I had a Thalamic Stroke in 2021, turning my entire world upside down. Life had changed completely. The universe was saying, “It is time to do something different.”
I dove into the waters of uncertainty head first and began to do more- earning my certifications in Reiki 1 and 2- eventually becoming a Master, researching creative therapy, the power of crystals, herbs, essential oils and sound healing. Absorbing information and practices like a sponge, they were the sustenance that I needed to survive and to create a true “Zen Life.”
Expanding outside of myself, I started sharing what I learned with others. Through hand made art, Reiki infused jewelry and apparel, workshops for creative healing, safe spaces to receive Reiki healing energy, as well as crystal and sound healing. I am still very much on my journey, forever learning, practicing, and teaching. If you are interested in any services or products I have to offer, please do not hesitate to ask!

Someone asked me- where have I been? I told them I've been right here. Just because you don't see me, doesn't mean I'm not right in front of you. It just means you're not looking.

I've been doing a lot of things... moving in silence... planting seeds, spreading roots, healing from pain. Settling in the warmth of positivity and high vibrations.

It's OK if you don't see me... you soon will.

Soooo... I'm selling Trees of Life pendants, without a chain right now. I just made a whole bunch. And then one day while being somewhere I shouldn't, buying things I shouldn't, I saw LEATHER CORD... (Drool) perfect for my pendants. So if you buy from my current lot I will attach a leather cord at your desired length until they all sell out. At $20.00 a piece just shy of 2" around packed with semi precious stones (more than a little bit) you cannot pass this up!

The triple Moon symbol shows three phases of the Goddess in the Waxing Moon, the Full Moon, and the Waning Moon.

The Maiden represented by the waxing moon, brings forth enchantment, inception, expansion, the promise of new beginnings, birth, youth and youthful enthusiasm.

The Mother represented by the full moon, embodies ripeness, fertility, sexuality, stability, power and life.

The Crone represented by the waning moon, is wisdom, repose, death and endings.

The moon in its entirety is my muse...

ART • DESIGN • INSPIRATION

I have been an artist all of my life, and a graphic and web designer for just about 25 years. I enjoy bringing visions to life whether it be through a company’s rebranding, to a wire sculpted tree that brings zen to an office or home. My creative skills have allowed me to develop branding for multimillion dollar companies, design birth announcements, wedding invitations, art gallery postcards, websites for the solopreneurs, and even to develop hand doodled logos to professionally crafted digital ones for newly formed small businesses. I am certified as a Minority and Women Owned Business, as well as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise through the State of New York, so that I may assist non profits and other organizations seeking grants for well designed products that represent their company with quality and style. In my years as a small business I have learned that the development process is never ending. Where my practices would ease my clients into the visual creation of their visions, without the stress of overwhelm- my creative endeavors beckoned me to a metamorphosis of another sort. Creating tangible visual art to assist in the calm, whether it be in the office or at home. Integrating my art opened many doors to opportunities. One of my wire sculptured trees is now watching over a therapist office- promoting hope, peace and believing in the impossible. My goal is to spread the joy of creativity and enjoyment of beautiful things. Some thought it was impractical to mix art and design, but as a person who has had a habit of defying the norm and expected I say... pshaa!

So I continue to bring my clients ideas to fruition through the creative manifestation of my skills and talents. The reward of seeing a happy client is why I continue to grow and build more opportunities, not only for myself, but for them... for YOU... too!
