What Do You Stand For?

November 20, 2017November 20, 2017
I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, their magic, their clear disposition or presence, and beauty (examples of how vast and mysterious the nature of creation is). I enjoy giving back to Animal Legal Defense Fund and Mercy for Animals. But lately, I’m driven in a different direction… and that is the protection and …

How do you heal?

August 13, 2015August 15, 2015
Lately I have been reflecting on what can bring a feeling of healing to a human. How can we go from a place of pain or brokenness to a feeling of wholeness, completeness, or in-the-moment-ness? How do we move from a place of feeling lost, confused, weak, or disenchanted to a feeling of a heart …

Nothing Compares to You ~

May 22, 2015June 2, 2015
Still floating, still smiling, still grateful for my first Soul Painting retreat… It all felt so divinely sweet and a time out from everyday life, or “the true reality”, as one participant described. I am simply in awe of these women who showed up for themselves for this week together. What risk, what blossoming, what …

What brings you joy?

October 28, 2014November 24, 2014
“Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.” — Aberjhani “Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves …

Current Turn Ons

“I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke’s Book of Hours: Love Poems to God “We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily; we do not need to learn it.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Translations from …

The Tonic of Wildness

June 11, 2014June 11, 2014
“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”–Henry David Thoreau The following photos are …

I painted this a few days after my beloved dog com I painted this a few days after my beloved dog companion of 15 years had passed. When a loved one passes on, or leaves this dimension, they are still always with us #foreverinmyheart 〰️💕〰️For love is eternal, it lives on within you and all around you. I feel my grandmothers around me the more I tune in. And I feel the expansion of their soul’s love. The same thing happened when my dog died… I could sometimes tune in and just feel her huge spirit. So this is just a word of comfort to know that the ones who passed on are still with you, they’re all around you, and you can just talk to them… speak to the soul from your soul. Feel what happens. 🤍🌛🪶

Based on vote and all your requests, I just completed the Nine Paths of Intuition + Magic. 11,000 words! (Which will include 9 recorded lessons too). One of the paths is on Understanding/Mastering Composition and Embodying Creative Abundance! This offering is full of light and a gorgeous transmission (I'm finally sharing a manifesto on spiritual wisdom, synchronicity, ritual and creative flow of the past 24 years of study, tried and true). It will be released soon on sliding scale.

--->>> ALL online courses & journeys are a glorious 40% off! Simply use code flashlove40. This includes ArtBiz courses.

This is my biggest online journey and class sale to date. Today is the final day of the sale!

So go be brilliant and honor the beauty you are! I  promise you that when you learn this formula of effortless creativity, it will serve you in ways you did not know were possible. The best gift the Universe can give you always comes in the form of a surprise.

A friend of mine said you never mention all the press you’ve gotten—and you need to show your testimonials more. So here I am. In fact, it’s wild to say I’ve been doing this full-time for 17 years now, the days when Etsy was brand new and hot, when you could get written up on #designsponge the next day, etc. I’ve gone from a commercial artist sold in galleries from New York to Hong Kong to incorporating more of my heart & love for synchronisticity into my work. It’s always an evolution, there’s never an end goal —the journey is the destination.
