Making Dolls is Women's Magic

I've worked with indigenous shamans, been a student of the western mystery traditions, and received my M.A. in Transformative Arts & Consciousness. I've been an art consultant on the Rue Royal in New Orleans to Rodeo Drive in high-end Art Galleries.

My lifelong question is

What Makes Art Sacred?

WE DO!

I invite you to create big Magic with me!

The Creator Twins A Dreamgate Task — the Initiation Journey

The Creator Twins A Dreamgate Task — the Initiation Journey

www.KristenaWestArt.com #IntuitiveArt #HealingArt #EmpoweredWomen In 1998, I was driving through the red rock lands of Moab, Utah when I had a dream that changed everything. A Navajo woman came to me in the dream and said: “You must teach the story of the Twins. It is a Healing story for the People.” That dream marked the beginning of a spiritual journey I never could’ve predicted. In 1999, I traveled to the Four Corners and spoke with a Zuni elder in the Church of Guadalupe who listened to my story and simply said: “You have been touched.” This vlog is the first time I’m sharing that story publicly with the Healing Art. It’s deeply personal and comes from a place that’s hard to put into words—but it lives in my art. The story of the Twins isn't just mythology—it’s alive, and it speaks to us through symbols, dreams, and our own creative practice. My intention is to begin sharing pieces of that journey with you, in hopes it stirs something awake in your own path. More than anything, I want to show that art can be made with intention—that art itself can be a healing force. When we approach it with presence, with prayer, with a willingness to be moved, it carries something far beyond beauty. It carries medicine. May this story, and the works born from it, remind you that your hands, your dreams, and your voice can be vessels for healing too. ........................................................................... 🎨 Ready to Awaken Your Inner Artist? After a two-year break from art (due to a hand injury), I'm back! I'm sharing my journey through weekly drawings, creative practices, and Art & Healing vlogs to inspire YOU to deepen your creative path. Welcome!

CHRIST AS A HEALING ICON Online Art Class with Kristena West M.A.

https://www.kristenawestart.com/christ-healing-icon-class Explore Christ as a Healing Icon with Kristena West M.A. OPEN AS A SELF-STUDY in your own time. Artists at some point in their creative explorations will probably devote some time to considering the Christ and what that means to them. Christianity is a world religion, an esoteric study, a universal symbol, and has millions of stories, arts, music dedicated to this theme over 2,000 years. "Those who want to paint Christ have to live with Him." Fra Angelico (1387-1455) “The essential thing is to work in a state of mind that approaches prayer.” – Henri Matisse Artists at some point in their creative explorations will probably devote some time to considering the Christ and what that means to them. Christianity is a world religion, an esoteric study, a universal symbol, and has millions of stories, arts, music dedicated to this theme over 2,000 years. This art class is an opportunity to question, ponder, contemplate and explore Jesus Christ in your life. Every tradition recognizes the necessity of mindfulness contemplation. In the Christian tradition contemplation, from contemplatio, Latin Theoria, refers to several Christian practices which aim at "looking at", "gazing at", "being aware of" God or the Divine. We provide two images for you to download or you can use an image that resonates with your heart. Spring is a good time for new seeds to plant, transform our thoughts to the blooming earth and think about how do I resurrect myself? I invite you to take art class Christ as a Healing Icon and join the conversation of the heart.

SEEDING GOOD INTO THE TIMESTREAM OF EVIL BECOMING: the SPIRITUAL WARRIORS PATH

SEEDING GOOD INTO THE TIMESTREAM OF EVIL BECOMING: the SPIRITUAL WARRIORS PATH

www.KristenaWestArt.com We are living in a time when evil is not just a philosophical concept but an active force shaping the world. It moves through institutions, culture, and even human thought, seeking to solidify itself in the fabric of reality. This is not the mindless chaos of old but a structured force, twisting truth into falsehood and subverting the very foundations of what it means to be human. Those who walk an esoteric path—who see with inner eyes—understand that we are not merely spectators. We are called to something greater: to embed the forces of Good into time itself, to hold the line against this rising darkness with unwavering resolve. But what does it mean to "embed" Good? This is no passive gesture, no mere wishing for a better world. It is a conscious act of spiritual defiance. Every deed, every thought, every work of art, prayer, and act of moral courage carves a space where the higher worlds can still reach into the earthly realm. This is not about fighting darkness on its own terms, which only strengthens it. Instead, it is about radiating something so true, so unwavering, that it cannot be subverted. The power of Good is not weak or abstract; it is the original creative force, and when embodied fully, it stands as an unbreakable pillar against entropy. Will You Stand and hold the Line?
