About Ona
When I was a kid, I always knew I wanted to be an artist. But I never dreamed I’d be painting people’s spirit guides!
In college, I majored in art. I started to notice that a couple years after I’d do a painting, I’d see symbolic messages in it that related to my life.
But it wasn’t until years later – after experiencing a spiritual awakening – that I began to learn to “read” these messages as the piece was being created. It was like the Universe was speaking to me through art and symbol. And with practice, I began to understand what it was trying to tell me.
Even more exciting – I found I could tune into another person’s field and see images and hear messages on their behalf. Angels, spirit animals, and mystic symbols whose meanings were relevant to THEIR life.
At first, I thought, “What fun!”
And of course it is. But over the years as I worked with more and more people in this way (both through art and through visionary journey sessions), people kept telling me how profoundly moving and healing the experience was for them.
I cannot begin to express how deeply gratifying it is to have been gifted with the ability to help people in this way.
My greatest pleasure is to work with other creative souls (whether fellow artists and healers, business people, or anyone with a dream and a vision) and help them bring their own gifts to the world.
Because if you have ever gone through a spiritual awakening, you surely know: the inner resistance to following your bliss can be tremendous!
I spent years fighting it.
First my ego said, “This is ridiculous.”
Then, it said, “Your art is not important.”
And finally it said, “You can never make a living doing this.”
Not long ago I told my ego to go to hell – because that’s what it apparently wanted to create for me.
Instead, I’m learning to make of my life a work of art. And life keeps getting better and better!
