In the mid-90s I owned a metaphysical store, taught classes on the Mind Body Spirit Connection for Personal Empowerment and Healing, and on the side I painted. I have been an artist since I can remember, yet most people knew me as the owner of the DreamWeaver Bookstore and the teacher of metaphysics. For some time I had been exploring the healing power of visonary art and imagery, as well as asking my guides how to bring my vision, spirituality and creativity together. One day I heard inwardly, “soul portraits,” and thought “oh shit!” I knew exactly what it meant, and that I was getting the cue to move to the “hot seat” as an Intuitive painter, helping others through an intuitive painting process that would provide soul healing, guidance and a reflection of at least one facet of their higher essence.

Though it took me a little while to embrace this very clear guidance, I am now living and working as a full time visionary artist and intuitive painter of souls. I have discovered over the last 16 years or so, and more than 1,000 soul portraits later, that healing truly does occur through revealing the higher octaves of the soul self in color, imagery, symbol and channeled messages.

Soul Portraits are a visionary art process, rich in the shamanic traditions of using art and imagery as a healing tool of the soul. Each Soul Portrait opens a gateway or portal to one’s higher self and touches on the potential of one’s assignment in this life, bringing the higher octaves of the soul song to an individual in the language of imagery, color, light and words of divine guidance.

As the painter of souls, I can tell you that we are multi-dimensional beings, expressing just a portion of our own potential and greatness. Having this as one of my life tasks, I have come to understand that this process can help one to see more clearly her gifts, as well as an inspiration to move toward her true heart desires. When a person can be witnessed and seen for her higher expression, her hopes, her dreams, her true self, she can often receive the energy needed to move forward toward her life dreams with courage, calm and assurance.

Over the years I have seen people receive a healing during the soul portrait painting process, releasing tears of joy while feeling the energy shift up, as lower energies shift out. I have received emails and phone calls of people telling me how their lives have changed by working with the painting as they would a mandala or healing tool, or as they would in speaking to a guide or angel.

Each soul portrait is a reflection of a facet of the soul revealing something pertinent that the individual needs to see at that moment. The colors and symbols will move beyond the conscious mind and intellect into the subconscious, or inner part of the soul self. This will help in triggering an expansion within the conscious waking state, awakening a deep inner recognition of the true Self. This assists the individual in remembering who they are (beyond the personality) and why they are here.
