History

Established in 2012.

Art Heals Us! Started when I was in a deep personal healing process. I found myself needing an outlet, a place where I could relax my mind and see new possibilities. I began to work on a paper mache’ doll. When she was complete she had the look and feel of a Divine Goddess. I made an altar for her and I begin to explore that aspect of myself.

Friends and family who saw the doll asked me to make one for them. I found that each doll I made was unique to that person. I found out later that each doll was assisting their ‘living muse’ in some way. I realized that I was using an intuitive process and channeling information while I was making each doll. I named the dolls «Spirit Dolls» and they are a custom service I provide to those who feel called to them.

My work is deeply connected to my own healing process. I realize that creativity is a key the helps us to understand our soul’s desires. This process integrate all aspects of the person, mind, body, spirit and soul.

Business Owner

Art has been a full circle for me. I was always the kid sitting at the kitchen table drawing. I went to art school for a brief period of time but when I had my son I thought I had to get a «regular job» and «be responsible». Needless to say I spent a great many years being unhappy in work places where I struggled to fit in. I knew there was something more for me. I believe in art and healing I have found my Divine Right Work. I am excited to share this ever evolving process with those who feel called to it.
