Yes, Aura Art! My real names contains these words and I see things in terms of vibrations and energy fields, so why not?

Title: The Light I Carry: Art, Healing & a Little Bit of Magic

For years, I walked the world quietly—trying to be good, to be helpful, to be dimmer in spirit as to not take up too much space. To be what society likes...

A textbook people-pleaser with a heart tuned to everyone else’s frequency but my own. And yet, beneath that was something powerful: a knowing, a spark, a refusal to lose my flicker and a journey to turn up the flame in my soul.

I’m an artist, a trauma survivor, and a human who is (finally) learning to live unapologetically. I believe that creativity is sacred. That art is more than something we hang on walls—it’s something we become when we let ourselves feel, heal, and shine.

My work is a spell of sorts: stitched with intention, wrapped in color, and guided by energy.

There’s a little bit of witchery here—of course there is. I believe in the unseen, the intuitive, and the power that rises when women remember their own magic. I believe in the energy that pulses between us and through us. In community that lifts. In animals who carry ancient light and love us far better than we often love ourselves.This space is for those of us who’ve been cracked open by life, yet still choose to rise, create, and connect.

I’ll be sharing stories, rituals, art, tools, and love notes to your spirit. Some posts may be playful, some potent. But all of it will come from a place of truth.

And because the creative path isn’t always perfect or polished, I’ll also be sharing DIY projects and artsy ideas for those who love to make things with their hands—and their hearts. Expect original how-tos, whimsical inspiration, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into my own creative process. That includes the little discoveries that spark joy and the flops—because the failures teach us, too.

This isn’t just a blog. It’s a sanctuary for those who believe in beauty, bravery, and becoming.

Because we’re not here to be dimmed.
