• An Essence Painting is an original one-of-one painted interpretation of your energetic blueprint, created through an intuitive, meditative process. Using your name and something that brings you joy as a way to perceive your energy, I interpret your essence through color, shape, and symbol.

What do you tune into when beginning a painting?

For Essence Paintings - I use a person’s name to connect with their spirit. I also like to know something in their life that brings them joy.

For Oracle Paintings - I sit in meditation with the question.

Are there any rituals or tools involved in the channeling process?

I begin by tidying my space, lighting a candle, and taking a moment to ground myself through breath or meditation. My regular Qi Gong practice improves the openness I need to receive.

What do you experience while connecting to someone’s energy?

I experience sensations in my body that I allow to direct me to certain colors and forms.

How long does a painting take? What does it feel like?

I am disconnected from a sense of time when I’m painting. It feels similar to swimming with a slow-moving saltwater current. A combination of surrender, focus, and action.

Why watercolor, ink, and mineral pigments?

I love watercolor and inks as a medium for channeling because their liquidity matches the movement of flowing qi. I don’t exert force or strain in creating because when a painting is overworked it loses the quality of movement. The water gets absorbed by the special paper that I use and evaporates into the air, leaving behind a snapshot of energy in motion.  The pigments I use are made from mica — a glittering mineral from the earth.  I was very connected to mica as a child and would spend hours admiring and collecting specimens in the creeks and ditches in my neighborhood. Bringing this mineral onto the paper gives the painting a three-dimensional texture that brings earthiness to the etherial and fluid nature of the rest of the piece.

Do the colors or forms have meaning?

My role is to be a messenger of the painting, and I don’t usually translate them into language. I trust the person receiving the painting will gather what they need from it in whatever way makes sense to them.

What made you choose this size, 11" x 14"?

I began offering smaller commissions during lockdown in Atlanta when I wasn’t able to access my studio and the galleries that were selling my larger work couldn’t have shows. It came out of a necessity to work smaller and ended up being a way to stay creative, tapped in, and support my community with an energetic offering during difficult times. 

It’s a size that makes it easy to share original work. For a lot of my collectors this offering is their first original art purchase and it makes me excited to have a small role in adding numbers to the creative ecosystem. 

Who do you imagine receiving one of these paintings?

My work is for people who view beauty and joy as sacred and neccessary. People who follow intuition and curiosity. People whose lives are abundant with people they love and meaningful objects they treasure.

These paintings are meant for homes where their energetic function will be supported by the existing environment.
