When I was five years old, I first noticed light and color surrounding people, plants, and objects when I focused on them. At the time, it frightened me. I didn’t yet have language for what I was seeing, only the sense that I was perceiving something other people could not. Eventually, I learned that these visions were called auras.

As a teenager, while questioning my faith and the mystical, I tried to shut this perception down. Although it never disappeared, suppressing it came at a cost. I became deeply disconnected from myself and spent years learning what happens when we turn away from the parts of ourselves that are asking to be seen.

At twenty, I experienced a spiritual awakening that reopened the door to my extrasensory perception. I began consciously exploring subtle realms, intuitive practices, the Akashic field, shamanic journeys, and the energetic nature of consciousness. As I practiced seeing auras again, what appeared began to evolve beyond the traditional clouds of color into something far more intricate, dynamic, and alive.

In 2013, I began seeing, and eventually drawing, what I now call Kinetic Auras. I have spent the past thirteen years developing this perception and began offering my work professionally in 2021. 

A Kinetic Aura is a moving visual language of color, light, geometry, and pattern that I perceive within and around the energetic body. During a reading, I enter a deeply open and receptive state and perceive whatever your spirit is presenting as meaningful or relevant in that particular moment of your life. I don’t decide beforehand what I should see or search for specific things. The imagery emerges spontaneously, and I translate what I perceive into art.

What I experience is not static. Forms move, interact, change, expand, contract, and create intricate visual patterns. Sometimes what I perceive is subtle; other times it is extraordinarily vivid. I am continually learning more about this phenomenon and developing ways to translate its movement into visual art. One day, I hope to create animations that allow people to experience Kinetic Auras as I actually perceive them: alive and in motion.

Art has been inseparable from my spiritual life for as long as I can remember. I began taking college-level art courses while still in high school and later studied at two art colleges in Massachusetts, where I received classical fine-art training and explored a wide range of disciplines.

My work was recognized early. During art school, one of my sculptures was selected for the front window of a senior exhibition and featured in the centerfold of the college magazine. One of my oil paintings was displayed as the header on the college’s website homepage for several years. I also received an internship opportunity with Harvard Ceramics after showing them my portfolio.

I wasn’t able to follow that path at the time. I was leaving an abusive relationship and had to return to my home state.

For a long time, I saw these interruptions as failures or lost opportunities. Eventually, I began to understand them differently. The path I thought I had lost was redirecting me toward something I could not yet see.

If my life had unfolded exactly as I planned, I may never have created Kinetic Auras.

Today, my fine-art training and my extrasensory perception are inseparable. Kinetic Aura illustration is where two lifelong parts of me, the artist and the mystic, finally meet.

I have lived through profound lifelong trauma, mental health struggles, abusive relationships, grief, and long periods of deep psychological and spiritual darkness. I have spent years learning how to meet the parts of myself that were painful, frightened, or difficult to understand.

I don’t believe healing means becoming untouched by darkness. I believe it means learning how to walk through darkness without losing yourself.

I think of this as becoming a shadow walker: one who has entered difficult places within themselves and learned how to walk through to the other side.

I also have a lot of experience with alchemy: the process of taking something painful and, over time, discovering the wisdom, strength, compassion, or medicine hidden within it.

I survived the underworld.

And from that initiation, I emerged with the wisdom of alchemy in my bones.

Because of this journey, I bring an unusual depth of empathy and presence to my work. I am not a therapist or mental health professional, and my readings are not a substitute for professional care. My understanding of emotional complexity comes from lived experience, personal development, therapeutic environments, spiritual practice, and the many people who have trusted me with their stories throughout my life.

During a reading, you are welcome to bring your whole self. There is nothing you need to hide from me. I don’t believe in fixing, forcing, or bypassing. I believe in witnessing what is already moving within you and allowing it to unfold at its own pace.

My relationship with this perception has also led me into a deeper relationship with my own Celtic ancestry.

Due to the mystical experiences I’ve had in liminal states, I understand my type of clairvoyance as belonging to a spiritual language that was interrupted, obscured, or pushed underground through generations of Christianization and colonization. One specific experience with an ancient Celtic ancestor left me with the sense that I am reawakening something within my lineage that had become dormant and repressed over time. I entered a vivid, waking vision of this ancestor, wearing a black cloak, leading me through a snow-covered winter forest. She turned to look at me with her deep eyes, spoke to me, and handed me the lit torch she had been carrying. The experience felt like an invitation to remember and bring forward a form of clairvoyance that had been lost within my lineage. I named this particular way of perceiving Kinetic Auras.

I don’t claim to have every answer about what this means historically or spiritually. I simply know that these experiences changed the way I understood my life. What I once thought was an unusual childhood perception became part of a much larger story.

Perhaps Kinetic Auras is not something I invented so much as something I learned how to remember.

At the heart of my work is a love for helping people see themselves differently.

I believe every person is moving through their own unique chapter of evolution, and no two paths look the same. I don’t believe in telling people who they are, fixing them, or asking them to become someone else.

I believe in reflection.

When I create a Kinetic Aura illustration, I am translating something I perceive within you into a visual language you can see for yourself. Many people recognize something in their illustration that they had already sensed intuitively but didn’t fully trust or know how to articulate.

Seeing your energy reflected back to you can be a powerful experience.

My hope is that you leave a reading not believing in me more, but believing in yourself more.

I want you to see your own beauty, power, intuition, and connection to Source. I want you to feel safe enough to be honest with yourself, curious enough to see yourself in a new way, and empowered enough to trust what you already know.

I am still learning. I am still evolving. I am still discovering what this perception can become.

But I have been following this thread since I was five years old.

And after everything I’ve walked through, I have finally learned not to turn away from what I see.
