Can you tell me a bit about the life events and encounters that have led you down this spiritual path?
I’ve always loved art since I was a child, but that didn’t start developing right away. It started to happen later on in life when I was in my 20s when I joined a spiritual society where we performed prayers and healing. This was when my sensitivity started to develop and what I noticed when I was doing art, is that I started to pick up things from other people psychically. However, I didn’t think much of it at that time.
One particular experience was when I’ve been to this lady’s colour workshop and really enjoyed it. Later that day, after I went home, I decided to do a mediation she’d given me because I wasn’t feeling well at the time. I was struggling health-wise and she was a healer. She helped me through the practice of colour healing and gave me this meditation, so I decided to listen to it that afternoon.
As I was listening and getting into it, it was like this stream going down a hill. Suddenly, I just felt transported to this place. As soon as that happened, this energy came through me. It took my breath away; it was that strong. After that experience, I just felt this presence with me that never went away.
I didn’t know how he was at that time. It took me years to find out that it was actually my spirit guide – Star. He’s been guiding me since day 1. As mentioned, it took me a while to find out who he was, and I did so through a friend. It took me a while to find out who he was, and I actually found out through a friend. I was writing a story, and he came up in that story. Whilst talking to this friend about my encounter in the story he said “You need to investigate this”. I did and discovered he was my twin flame and main guide.
Another significant experience I had was when I was working at childcare and started to become unwell. I ended up taking time off on the sick. It was during this time off work I became inspired to write an art journal. All this stuff just started flowing from me, through pictures and poetry. It was so powerful. I started doing it every day for a number of weeks.
At one point, I was drawing a particular picture and thinking to myself, “She’s like an angel”. As I finished the painting, I could feel a kind of pull as I moved the brush away from the painting. It was like this energy coming off it as if I was guided whilst drawing it. This is the first start of the spirit art I do to this day.
A year later a friend of mine had asked a spirit artist to come to her shop, to offer spirit readings and draw portraits of guides. I just felt really compelled to go and see her. Whilst drawing the portrait I asked the artist if the being she was drawing had blond hair, which the artist confirmed. I realized it was the same being that I had drawn a year earlier. However, she drew her in her past incarnation, where I depicted her as an angel. During that time, I was very vulnerable because I was going through so much change and transition, so she came through as an angel for me. However, this artist portrayed her as 19 years old from the Tudor times. She suffered respiratory problems and died of this condition at the age of 19, but while she was alive, she did a lot of art and tapestries, she was a very gentle-natured soul. I was informed by the artist she was my artist guide – Lydia.
As the artist continued with the drawing she told me, “You are able to do Spirit Art, you’re capable of doing it” and that sparked a change in me. Over the next few years, I practiced with friends and family and then set up my own business in 2016, which is the business I’m still running today.
What makes your portraits unique? What’s the idea behind them?
Well, they’re unique because they’re connecting to spirit. They are like calling cards. The spirit guides that draw are focused for the client, the recipient, to connect to their spirit guide or a being they’ve wanted me to draw.
It includes spirit guides, angels, masters, elementals, and goddesses, and it can even be their past incarnations or them as a child. It’s all connected with spiritual energy and the portraits have a lot of colours in them, which are significant to each recipient, so they vary very much from one another. They are unique for each person, so it’s all commission-based. When a client wants a portrait, they’ll get one completely different from the last client I had before them.
The colours used are mainly their “life colours”, colours that the person is working with in their lifetime, which can assist them. These colours are all significant and are usually around the head of the being so that they can see them, use them, and breathe them in. It’s all based on colour psychology. Colours hold so much wisdom, power, and healing. The portrait most often depicts past incarnations of a particular spirit guide, the person’s main spirit guide, unless I’m drawing an aspect of the recipient. The portrait is mainly intended to be a focus for the recipient to make it easier for them to connect with their guide or aspect.
What can people expect from your Online Private Sessions?
Very much like the distance ones where people just ask for an inquiry, a reading, or a portrait, but the difference is that they’re able to ask more questions. It enables me to connect with those people, pick up more information, and relay it to them. With more detail, I can maybe also do a card reading. As for the picture, I produce this before the session as this can take a few hours to complete. Then during the session, I will show the portrait and share information about the guide and the message the being wants to relay to the receipient. It might be answering questions that they’ve instructed me to ask. After that, we can go into a lot more detail, and the client also gets a recording of the session, which allows them to rewatch it as many times as they want to.
Can you describe the process of connection to a client’s spirit team and aspects?
I just get myself comfortable and relaxed, and then I ask for protection from angels. I also use crystals. After that, I ask to be a channel, followed by connecting to my artist guide, Lydia. It’s very simple. It’s not a major procedure in any way.
Lydia acts as my eyes, she is the one who shadows me and sees the being and the aspects. Then she’ll draw through me. What I often do is start painting with my non-dominant hand. That has become sort of like a doodle in the beginning, just to get the position in which the being wants to come through. They don’t always come with their face facing forwards. They might turn in a different direction.
Using my non-dominant hand prevents me from trying to control how the being/aspect will present itself. From there it just evolves because most often than not I don’t receive a vision before I start drawing.
What’s your favourite part of your profession?
My favourite part is bringing through the beings, as it’s like an adventure because often I don’t know what’s going to happen and what they’re going to look like. It’s kind of a surprise.
When I’m drawing, these faces are just suddenly coming through the veil of the paper. It’s just so exciting and it makes me wonder in curiosity, not knowing what’s going to happen. That’s what I enjoy, along with getting the information that’s coming through. That’s more in the form of imagery, rather than words. Then I just start applying it to the drawing.
