This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Laurel Fae. Here is more about this weeks magical artist: My name is Laurel Fae! My interests and aspirations include: activism , Buddhism , mysticism, the healing arts, going back to your roots and Dreams!  I enjoy working with all art mediums and forms but I primarily work in Watercolor, gouache , and oil and also I love to write poetry and creative non fiction! My art is based on or inspired from my dreams and visions at night, visions and dreams during the day, my intuition, nature and overall mysticality. To me being a mystic is about breaking away the layers of reality , seeing how we are multidimensional beings and also being able to connect to the divine to Heal from our traumas and transcend the pain into something beautiful .  Through our dreams, visions and journeys - we are able to tap into all these things. My Art comes from those places - it also expresses messages I would like to convey as being a conduit for the Divine for others to see with hopes to help them on their journeys and their healing too! I am in the process of getting prints soon, I am willing to part with some originals if people ask me and open to commissions, you can reach me through my Instagram page - either my art or personal one or through my email : [email protected]

This week is with the talented and beautiful, Zuwena Mshale. A jack of all trades that is always learning and growing as an artist, here is a little bit about her: My name is Zuwena Mshale,  I'm a philly based artist,  while I have a degree in art and design,  most of my creative passions are self taught.  I grew up in Wilmington Delaware and moved to Philadelphia in 2004 to start college.  It wasn't until then that my passion for art began. Painting very quickly became not only my passion but my therapy,  the creative outlet that I had been dreaming of. As of today I dabble in a few things from jewelry making,  leather goods, painting and sculpture and more.

In this episode we meet an artist on the other side of the world. Qori is an abstract painter and musician, originating from Ohio. Qori spent 9 years residing in Philly where they discovered their artistic life, nonbinary identity, and rekindled their love for adventure! Qori has been dabbling in the paints for a decade and has shown art all over the world. Qori is currently living in Taipei City Taiwan, creating art and playing music. They are  the Fronthem for an experimental rock band, called All My Boyfriendz.  Qori’s style, when it comes to pursuing anything artistic,  is pure expressionism. It’s fueled by emotion and is mixed with surrealistic ideals to create Qori’s visual and audio commentary on this life. Qori has taught art to children and adults since 2014, and directed/produced over 40 art shows all over the United States.

Hello again! It's been awhile but I am so happy to be back with another great interview with another great artist. Kathleen is a multi-dimensional co-creative translator of spirit. Discovering herself, the world, and her ancestry through working with plant spirits, the spinning of star stories, and the mirror of the tarot for the deeper human experience. As an artist, Kathleen went to art school here in Philadelphia and studied traditional Textile Design, but today, she uses her skill set as an intuitive medium to express what she sees in her visions. Her biggest subjects of focus are astrology and plant medicine, as she is continually inspired by the story of the stars and the soil.
