Dug out the acrylics today for a new piece. Started with one vision—ravens—but the painting had other ideas. By the time I stepped back, birch trees had emerged instead.

This is just the first layer of what may be many. It could look entirely different by the time it's done.

This is what I love about intuitive painting: the willingness to follow where the work wants to go, even when it surprises you.

I'm excited to be vending at the Marquette Holistic Health Fair next weekend! This is always such a beautiful gathering of healers, artists, and conscious community.

🎨I'll have my art prints, greeting cards, and Spirit Animal Awareness Oracle Cards available, plus taking commissions for Soul Oracle paintings.

✨I'll also be offering Energy Scan readings and soul symbol readings on-site.

Whether you're looking for spirit-inspired art or wanting to explore your energetic landscape, I'd love to connect with you there!

Have you ever been magnetically pulled toward a piece of art without knowing why?

That pull is your soul recognizing itself. The colors, the energy, the feeling—it's all whispering something you need to remember or are about to become.

What artwork has ever stopped you in your tracks?

Evolution of a painting.

This one started as a purely intuitive piece painted during one of Whitney Freya's online art workshops back in 2021.

I liked the energy of the first layer, and the etherial colors, but it felt ambiguous, like I couldn't really feel it shaping up into anything.

So, I let it sit for a couple of days.

When I came back to it, the frog showed up almost right away. The final piece came together super fast - I almost couldn't paint fast enough to keep up with the intuitive process!

Sometimes in life, like in art, things don't turn out as we had planned - they turn out better than we could have imagined!

What's something in your life that turned out better than planned? I'd love to hear your story.

Ever feel like your creative spark is actually spirit moving through you?

In my latest Studio Talk, I’m exploring what happens when sacred geometry, chakras, and divine feminine energy collide.

We had our first hard frost last weekend. I spent it gathering tomatoes, making salsa verde, and painting these wild pears from a tree near my home.

There's something about autumn that speaks to the soul. Even as things die back, we're given the sweetest fruits of the year—the ones that sustain us through winter and carry us forward to spring.

Join me at 2 PM Eastern today for a channeled Soul Star Chakra Activation meditation on Enlightened World Network. We're in a sacred pause between cycles, and this meditation will help us open to higher guidance and prepare for the new energies arriving in February and March. See you there! https://www.facebook.com/enlightenedworldnetwork

The second piece in my chakra series: Svadhishthana, the sacral chakra.

Resting just below the navel, this energy center is the wellspring of creativity, sensuality, and emotional intelligence. It governs our ability to feel pleasure, express ourselves creatively, and flow with life's changes rather than resist them.

When Svadhishthana is open and balanced, we create with ease, embrace our desires without shame, and let joy ripple through our lives.

Watch the layers of orange unfold—the color of creative fire and flowing water united.

🕸Halloween feels like the perfect time to talk about shadow work. This mask represents the parts of ourselves we hide—the anger, the wildness, the rage, the truth we're afraid to speak.

She's not pretty. She's not polite. She's the part of you that howls at the moon and refuses to shrink.

Your shadow self holds your power. The monster inside. The parts you've been taught to hide, suppress, or be ashamed of—those are often where you'll find the unfaced truths that can liberate your soul.

What would your shadow self say if you let her speak?
