ENCODED ART within a PORTAL

Artist Statement 

My paintings are living portals. Energetic transmissions that speak directly to the soul. They invite you to slow down, feel, and journey inward to discover your own answers. I create intuitively, guided by a deep connection to cosmic and galactic realms, embedding each piece with light codes and vibrational frequencies. Colour, movement, and symbolism weave together to open possibilities beyond the physical world, offering glimpses into higher dimensions. My intention is to spark both beauty and transformation – uplifting the energy of any space while awakening a deeper connection to the self and the greater whole, allowing you access to your own higher self and it’s wisdom.

Each one of my paintings has encoded light messages contained within – created with a specific intention so you would use them as conscious reminders to access a higher timeline and more Soul Alignment

Prints are drop shipped to your door

“Thank You for the most magical day Michele. So much fun working with you to create my own soul map via the the expression of of colour, portals and things that I can not explain in short. My artwork hangs in my meditation room and I use it every day to connect with the energies. .. thank you for helping me to create such a powerful tool!”

“I attended Michele’s Pleiadian Galactic Art workshop and just loved it! We spent the day basking in galactic energies and allowing them to take shape on the canvas, with some meditation, discussion, and delectable veggie lasagna though the day too. I have my painting hung where I see it every day and it’s like a portal in the house. I’m thrilled that I made this investment in myself, for something beautiful that came through just for me, which I’ll have always. Thanks Michele” – Courtney

“Michele put on a wonderful week-end retreat, she went out of her way to make sure that everyone was accommodated and that we all created artwork we were happy with. I’d love to do another art retreat with Michele in the future! xx“ – Hayley
