* We can set up a Zoom call to talk about my process and your love!
One with layers upon layers of meaning. Created for one who wears her heart on her sleeve for all she loves. The one who’s determined to love more and more. What, Who, Where. To have nothing but love in her life.
That’s what I intuned for this one while creating her piece. What the symbols say that came to depict the vibe of their love.

A big piece, for a big love, one whose story is told through the simplest of symbols. One made for two. You can see them there. The two open squares that depict two who are totally open. To each other. Feeling no need to wear any masks. The lines tell the stories they’ve each written. What was, what is, what will be. Whatever it is...however they’ve changed...however they will…whoever they become. They’re open to it. To change. Together. To share that crown.
A crown that would be too big for one but is perfect for two. One that holds all of the love, all of the joy, all of the responsibilities that come with this life. Sharing it to share those, magnifying all that’s good, and ensuring nothing that comes will ever be too much for either to carry because they’ll never have to carry it alone. Moving forward while sharing everything, the love they hold will be all they feel, see, hear from each other.
That’s what I intuned for these two while creating this piece. What the symbols say that came to depict the vibe of their love.

A love created for my family. A family that’s been through a lot. That’s had a hard time receiving. So it was especially nice to see that a huge wave of love was coming. One that’s a match for the love they each carry.
That’s what I intuned for my family while creating this piece. What the symbols say that came to depict the vibe of our love.

Created for a single father of three, one who’s ready for the next big love of his life.
I can’t tell you everything I intuned for this one while creating his piece. His life, his love, his messages were too big, too many to put here. He was given an extra long recording to explain all.

The Mama is at the center of this family’s tree. Holding them all up with strength and guiding them forward with the gentleness of her curves. With every ounce of her...seen in this piece with how her first & middle initials - DR - create their tree’s trunk. But her crown at the top? That’s made by all of them. Nine clusters of three. One for the woman she is across her entire life (past, present & future) + eight for each of the ones who’ve crowned her their mama. Finn, Calvin, Ollie, Twain, Dovie, and Lemon. Oh and all those curly e’s coming off the ends? Those appeared all on their own and are a perfect fit for this family since their last name starts with an E...as I found out after.

““Amazing! So much love in your art! Appreciate your big heart so much.””
Two for two. Two who are equal in all ways and are showing who they fully are, their full selves. Shown here through their first and last initials. Carrying in them the generations of history that made them. The strength of the one, the one whose support never falters, shown in the straight lines of the C there over to the left. But she has a vulnerable side too. One that needs to be cared for and protected. By her, by her partner. That’s there too. That smaller c in the middle, the one the E came back over to protect. She holds onto him with that side of her. A side that can never hurt anyone. He’s got her. And his strength is breaking down anything that gets in the way. Forward. On the path where he clearly and confidently knows the way.
That’s what I intuned for these two while creating their piece. What the symbols say that came to depict the vibe of their love.

Loved handing this over to its new mama! Literally. The C center stage is the brand new mama of baby girl Raven. Her little r lookin like a bird that’ll take off someday but for now is super grounded, nestled into her mama’s big C. Dad’s here too. His J is over to the left, crushing that mountain...cause he really loves rock climbing. But that’s not all he loves.
He’s got binoculars looking over at what he loves most, who he’ll always watch over. She gets it. All of it. The mama. Saw everything instantly, clearly. Especially the overall theme. The aerial of the ‘terrains’ they’ve lived on, especially the pale pink, there for the SouthWest, where the two met in high school. Their bedrock, baked into both of them.
They’ll have what it gave them + all their love & joy with them always. That’s clear in how their initials pop up again in the sun, and again in the flowers. Cause the happiness they represent will be with them always.
That’s what I intuned about these two while creating their piece. What the symbols say that came to depict the vibe of their love. The details came from what they told me, but the symbols...those came all on their own. I can’t take any credit for them. That’s what their souls wanted them to see.

““I love how you don’t even see the initials at first. All of the symbolism is so true to our story. And I know I’m going to see even more in the shapes as time goes on. I can’t wait to show my husband and to hang it!””
Created for a young couple right at the start of their life together. In year one of their first home. The energies of strength, stability, equality and balance are definitely baked into this one for these two. Oh and LOVE, of course. Came through with a second, even bigger X resting on top of the grounded X that was there from the beginning.

““It’s beautiful. I loved the story and the narrative of the process as well as the final piece itself. And that song you heard while painting...that’s the song our photographer put in the background of our wedding album slideshow!””
LOVE LANDED • with L&P...then magnified when they just brought their first little one home...baby Artie. But he wasn’t exactly the first. Not if you count their pup Arrow...he’s in here too...cause he def counts. You can also count loads of angel numbers in all those lines. Those came through cause mom is witchy, so they’re a fit for her. And dad is a singer. So you can see how the top of his P is a fit for how love & light spreads with every sound belted. But the real fit is the two that created this home, that are home to each other. It’s there in how snug their initials nestle together and how their stems mirror each other. Could barely tell which was which while painting ‘em. And the space the two created naturally, right there in the center where baby A and Arrow landed? That is the actual symbol for home. How amazing is that. Then, those other symbols in there? The + and the = around Arrow that turned into a cake with candles? That says their home is full of soooo much positivity and that there are soooo many celebrations to come. So much fun. And Love. Forever and Ever. Cause that’s just who they are, what that 11 11 in them and then again in the circle that wrapped around into a heart says. One Love. United, Forever.
p.s. That cake in there? Has an even more personal meaning. Mama L told me after...she was OBSESSED with eating cake while pregnant. I love that she now has that memory in here forever. :-)

I shared the photos and recording with the mama before shippping it. And she let me know...
““This is so beautiful and so on point in so many ways. My heart swells so big seeing it, and I’m so excited to share it with the fam!””
After she did, she shared this with me...
““We unwrapped it and I played the recording. My husband was so moved and loves the painting too. Your work is stunning and has a lot of deeper meaning.””
While not painted as commissions, this collection of Soul Smiles show how well they tell the story of true love.

““Thank you so much for this beautiful painting! Bloom & Take Flight is a perfect name for it and the meaning behind it so special to us. We have it hanging where we can look at it often.””
Fueled forward by SO MUCH LOVE. From the moment I started this, I felt it. The love this family holds. Not to say there wasn’t frustration. Early on, I almost gave up & started over. The first two - C&J - came together easy. Better than planned. Cause I did go in with a plan. Thought the R should be to the right, launching off, since he’s about to do that in life. But it just wouldn’t ‘happen’.
I’d gone in asking their souls to help me create what this family would love to see.
And that came through as the first 25 years of C&J’s marriage…of their family. You see that in the N that dripped in, to add their shared initial. Then the XXV I added when I realized that’s what was being shown. And for 6 of those, R was center stage as the only child. So that’s where he needed to be on here, smack dab in the middle.
Oh and there may have been a hiccup at first, but he actually flew on so easily. All it took was for me to see where he was meant to be. You can see that in how he’s half of each parent. Meant to be theirs. Just needed to add a little to give him his full form.
His sister on the other hand. HOLY she gave me a hard time. Refused to bend to my will. I wanted her S to be curvy and graceful. But she’s too head-strong to do what others want. So I finally gave in. Said, be who you are, I’ll go with it and help you flow that way.
And WOAH I love how she turned out! Sharing a stem, a foundation with her brother. And despite the age gap, this shows, they’ll always be connected.
She can’t see it tho. When she saw this, she couldn’t see her own curve. The connection she shares with him. And how much she looks like her mom, shown here in the top half of her S, which curves like the C she has the same bold strength as. That’ll change tho, and she’ll see - and cherish - how unique & beautiful she looks.
Just like her dad cherishes her mom, through & through. And WOAH does he ever. You see it in how his curve cups hers. Not cradles. She’s too strong for that. But strong as she is, doesn’t matter, he’ll never let her fall.
That is this family of four. Sailing into the future with a deep & steady love for each other.

There are 6 initials in this one. Two at the core that are completely connected. Another two launching from them that at first glance look like the same one. Another joined through their stem to those that look alike. And a sixth that’s giving a bear-sized hug of love to all.
It’d take a book to explain all the energy that came through in this piece...took me through multiple stages across ages as it evolved...so I won’t even try to on here.
Was going to call it Ride or Die but that feels like there’s an option, so I went with 𝙍…𝙄…𝘿…𝙀. Feels more fun, and since a load of deep, belly-reaching smiles came through in it, that fits.

Gail Force Winds. That’s what came through for this one. Came in fast from out of nowhere. For me while painting and in life for the father in this one - C.
You can see tho that those winds didn’t break him. Shifting with them, he flipped direction. Using the wind’s power to go the way it was headed, which helped all go faster. Scooping up his kids with him.
See them in there? The oldest - G - strong like his dad but still needs a guiding touch. And the two little ones close together - A & N - like the littlest one says…’basically twins’.
Flyin’ forward together…flourishing.
I also felt the first hint of another energy come in. The love of a woman. Oh and like I told him, if he wants it, there’s space for one more little bird.

...helps her child grow. Every swoop & symbol on here carries deep meaning. That’s symbolic in and of itself...of motherhood.
I spent a good 20 hours attuned to this mother & child’s energy, to create this symbol of their connection, and it blew me away. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of them, of what I felt about them.
The main thing? As this mother expands and grows, as she finds her own happiness and rises higher and higher? Her child benefits and can then grow bigger and bigger and bigger.
And what comes next? After that expansion. Will be really beautiful, for both.
I felt that about their future even tho this painting shows their current chapter, one spanning years. From when G was conceived, and K rose to the challenge of being a young mother, until the point when he’s grown and is ready to go off on his own…protected and led by the love she’s instilling in him.
Oh and one other symbol I want to mention? I’m absolutely loving that Khaleesi Mother of Dragons throne that showed up over on the lower left.
