Intuitive Portraits
Awaken Your Intuition
In 2013, I created my first oracle deck, Awaken your Intuition, which was revised in 2018. This 32-card deck came into being through the many brush strokes of people who passed through my life. It is a collection of my journey—the lessons I’ve learned, the gifts I’ve uncovered, and those yet to be discovered. My dream, or vision, was to inspire others to take note of the small yet profound moments in their lives—those “ah-ha” moments that create positive shifts.
Having walked challenging paths myself, I know how important it is to have tools that gently nudge us to pay attention. Awaken Your Intuition is a simple yet effective way to do just that, offering guidance and helping others open up to their own intuitive power.
The process begins when you send me a recent photograph of yourself, ensuring no one else is in the frame. Holding your photo, I enter a meditative state, tuning into your energy. While in this state, I channel the information into my hands, allowing the images to flow onto the canvas. I believe these images reflect your soul, revealing elements such as past lives, spirit guides, inner child aspects, or powerful messages that come through.
Since the early 1990s, I’ve been creating intuitive portraits, starting with pencil and charcoal, capturing the essence of each client beyond their physical appearance. My journey began with a deep sense of feeling—tapping into the unseen )energy and vibrations surrounding each individual. I allow that intuitive knowing to guide my hand, letting the emotions and impressions that arise shape the portrait.
As my work evolved, I transitioned from traditional mediums to digital art. While the tools may have changed, the core of my process remains the same. Today, I continue to connect with the energy and essence of each client, translating those vibrations into colors, forms, and textures through digital techniques.
These portraits are not a likeness of the client but a combination of guides, spirit animals, or whatever reveals itself on the canvas. Each portrait reflects the deeper energy and symbolism that surrounds the client, revealing hidden aspects of their journey or spiritual essence. It’s a process of feeling, sensing, and translating unseen forces into visual form—something I’ve been refining for decades.
In many ways, this process is similar to a card reading, only done through the medium of art. Many of my clients choose to have a portrait done once a year as a way to check in with their personal growth and spiritual journey, reflecting on how their life and energy may have shifted or evolved.
I now feel a closer connection to other planes of existence and am deeply blessed by the visions and journeys I experienced during my coma. I have learned the strength in listening to my intuition and the challenges I face when I ignore it. My life thus far has been a kaleidoscope of experiences, whether navigating a health crisis, teaching Reiki, creating a retreat center, painting on canvas, or being a great-grandmother. There are still so many colors in the palette of life yet to be discovered and explored.
I hope you enjoy this deck and allow your intuition to flow freely.
Love and light,
