As an artist, my deepest inspiration comes from a desire to support people in experiencing the world through their mystical senses. Each piece I create serves as a gateway, inviting viewers to explore the magical dimensions of existence that often go unnoticed in our daily lives.
The connection between art and spirituality runs deep through human history. From ancient cave paintings to modern abstract expressionism, artists have always sought to capture the ineffable qualities of mystical experience. Today, we're exploring how mystical paintings can serve as windows into our own spiritual journey, and how they can transform both our spaces and our inner landscapes.
The Historical Tapestry of Mystical Art
Throughout time, cultures worldwide have used art as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. The mandalas of Tibet, the sacred geometry of Islamic art, and the illuminated manuscripts of medieval Europe all speak to humanity's enduring desire to make the invisible visible. These traditions inform my own work, particularly in my Beautiful Bodies (Skeletons) series, where skeletons serve as powerful reminders to both be in our bodies and see with our hearts.
When we encounter truly mystical art, something resonates beyond the physical paint and canvas. It speaks to that part of us that yearns for connection with something greater than ourselves. This is why my Portraits of Rivers series celebrates the resonance of rivers, capturing their spiritual essence and reminding us of our deep connection to nature's flowing wisdom.
The Creative Process as Spiritual Practice
In my practice as an artist, creating mystical paintings is about opening channels for viewers to access their own spiritual awareness. Each piece, whether it's a fairy from my Witches & Fairies gallery or a mystical river portrait, is created with the intention of awakening the viewer's innate ability to perceive magic in the everyday world.
The process begins long before brush meets canvas. It starts with a state of receptivity – of opening oneself to divine inspiration. Sometimes this means sitting in meditation, other times it involves walking along the Mississippi River, letting its ancient rhythms speak to my soul. The key is creating space for spirit to enter the creative process.
Colors and Their Spiritual Significance
Colors play a crucial role in mystical artwork, carrying their own spiritual frequencies and emotional resonances. In my galleries, you'll notice how different colors affect the energy of each piece:
- Deep blues in the Rivers series evoke the depths of spiritual wisdom and intuition
- Golden yellows in the Fairy Muses collection represent divine light and illumination
- Purples in the Witches & Fairies pieces connect us to higher spiritual awareness
- Greens bridge the physical and spiritual, representing growth and healing
- White creates space for possibility and divine presence

Symbols and Sacred Geometry
My Beautiful Bodies series demonstrates how universal symbols can speak to our deeper consciousness. The skeleton, rather than representing death, becomes a powerful symbol of being present in our physical form while maintaining heart-centered awareness. These aren't just decorative elements – they're keys that unlock different levels of spiritual understanding.
Creating with Intention
One of the most powerful aspects of mystical art is the intention behind it. When creating or choosing spiritual artwork, consider:
- The energy you want to invoke in your space
- The spiritual qualities you wish to cultivate
- The messages you need to be reminded of daily
- The level of contemplation you want to inspire
- The connection you hope to strengthen

The Transformative Power of Mystical Art
Through years of creating and sharing mystical artwork in New Orleans' Jackson Square, I've witnessed how art can:
- Open channels of spiritual communication
- Facilitate emotional healing
- Create sacred space for meditation and reflection
- Remind us of our connection to the divine
- Support daily spiritual practice
Caring for Your Spiritual Artwork
Remember that mystical artwork isn't just a passive decoration – it's a living energy that requires care and attention. Some practices for maintaining the spiritual potency of your artwork include:
- Regular cleansing with sage or palo santo
- Refreshing the space around the artwork
- Spending time in contemplation with the piece
- Noting how the artwork's energy shifts with the seasons
- Adjusting placement based on intuitive guidance
