Spirit Essence Portraits by (butterfly woman painter) Melissa Harris. register for this event
May 13-14th and again in July (July dates TBD but reserve your space now!)
Have you ever wondered what aspects of your being would reveal themselves to a psychic or "intuitive" and what these qualities would look like in a painting? Melissa now combines her background as a clairvoyant with her artistic abilities to create your own spirit essence portrait. She will tune into you and do a 7" x 10" watercolor painting of your unique essence as it appears to her in a semi-trance state. She combines the elements of what she finds into your painting in a way that will be helpful for you in your path of development. For example, this might include reminders of issues you are working on, aspects of yourself that you may want to honor, patterns of behavior that you are working on changing, etc. The session takes 45 - 60 minutes and you receive the double benefit of learning what she "sees" as well as owning a Melissa Harris original painting! There are only 10 sittings available, so please reserve your sitting now! The portrait fee is not refundable unless we can fill your spot from a waiting list. Melissa will do a remote portrait for you in the event you are unable to be here. $225.
