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.

Come hang out, get inspired, and see what’s been unfolding in the studio. 💕

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.

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?

Ever catch yourself thinking "I'm not good enough"?

Here's the truth: You are NOT your thoughts.

Your thoughts every bit as much creative tools as my brushes and paints. Let's learn to use them consciously. ✨

In my new video, I'm sharing the simple technique I use every single time self-doubt creeps in (yes, even now! 😅).

I need your help naming this piece! 💫

When I painted this watercolor last year, I was contemplating humanity's journey from the Age of Ta**us - with its focus on material accumulation and sensory experience - into our current age where we're called to break free from those chains.

The bull skull represents what remains from that era. We can't erase our past, but we can transcend it. The seven sacred rays of Light adorn the horns, symbolizing the different qualities of consciousness available to us. Above, the golden eagle and sun represent the spiritual heights we're meant to reach.

The original sold last spring, and I'd like to offer it as a print. But I'm torn on the title! The original title was "No More Bull" - which has a playful edge but may not capture the depth of the work.

Which one resonates with you?

1. No More Bull
2. Beyond the Bull
3. Breaking the Chains of Matter
4. Transcending Ta**us
5. Something else? (Tell me in the comments!)

Comment with your number or share your own idea. I so appreciate your insight! 🙏

I've been drawn to sacred geometry more and more lately. To me, it represents the divine structure behind everything in the world.

A big part of my spiritual journey has been learning to bring structure into my life through self-awareness, routines, and decluttering—both internal and external.

Structure helps me manage the wild creative impulse that can get out of hand sometimes and channel it in beautiful ways.

Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to painting it. I love pairing geometric forms with loose, free painting: creativity and structure, yin and yang.

This piece, "Unalome," is mixed media on watercolor paper, 22"x11". The unalome symbol represents the path to enlightenment—the spiral at the bottom is our beginning, the twists and turns are our journey, and the straight line at the top is finding peace and clarity. DM me for details!
