PAINTINGS FOR BEAUTY, FREEDOM, SACRED SPACES
IMMERSE yourself in art that speaks to your soul; with symbolism and colorful patterns that feel rich, dreamy.
EXPERIENCE more of what you visualize for your life with a mini mood, or any size art for your home, office, or mediation space!
BRING BEAUTY around you. See it in the artwork; feel it within yourself, your home or work space.
Imagine having your own piece of art; small or large, that feels dreamy, filled with intent. A piece you connect with each time you walk by.
I create semi-abstract gouache, watercolor, and acrylic paintings in all sizes, both originals and prints.
Custom requests are welcome; choose specific colors, textures or the “feel” of a piece. Or choose a design I’ve created.
Having art is not an extravagance, it’s one of the main componants for wholistic wellness and living. It can nourish you.
Art can be a gateway for the mystic in you, a statement in your home of how you view life, or simply a beautiful art piece to enjoy.

ANIMAL MEDICINE CARD READING
CONNECT INTO A WORLD OF ANIMAL WISDOM For INSIGHT AND CLARITY IN YOUR LIFE!
What is an animal medicine card reading? I use an older style Native American divination deck as a tool for gaining understanding, perspective and transformation around a certain situation in your life. Together, we sit, and tune-in. Intent and sacred space is important in a reading, before a card(s) is chosen. The deck has animal drawings and ancient information, (sometimes a small story for healing). Anytime there is un-clarity or struggle in our lives, even in new beginnings and opportunities, the mind can weigh in heavily and cloud our wisdom. The animal cards reveal a bird’s eye view, a profound perspective or “medicine” to a situation in your life. Whether it’s love, health, creativity, money, anything. As I read the card(s) you’ve chosen, we have soul conversation around the message. Each reading is unique. I always like to say that the medicine cards will intrique the mystic in you, and nourish the spiritual side, giving you more depth, reflection, or clarification in the physical world. The insight is meant to help you let go of stress, over-thinking, and connect with your heart wisdom… where freedom and solutions live!
Whether you’re experiencing a new beginning or an ending, or simply need clarity, these readings are a gift from the wild. Each animal (card) has their own “medicine” message to share with you.
This is not a crystal ball. The reading is through grounded soul conversation together, and a specific message that will help give you a unique perspective. In this way, it can help release worry, fear, or rumination and point the way toward understanding.
The cards can be many things: mystical, meaningful, peaceful, reflective, exciting. One thing for sure, the reading is always soulful.
In the midst of life’s changes, it is vital for the heart to connect, to be able to weave in new awareness. The animal medicine card(s) are such a super way to do this.
My sessions are open to all who love and appreciate the animals of the earth. And to those who wish to connect in a heart-centered way to confirm a feeling, situation, or solve a problem. I look forward to your reading!

ABOUT
Dena Carter is a painter, healer, yogi and author of “Loving Who You Are”. After graduating college with a graphic design degree, Dena began her journey as a freelance artist in Portland, Oregon. Years later she moved to L.A. and established a thriving greeting card company, Dloveleigh Designs. Five years into her business, Dena experienced a change of heart and started channeling her creativity into writing and performing stand up comedy. After 3 years into comedy, another (radical) change beckoned her to come home to her soul. And in 2003, Dena moved to Ashland, Oregon. There, she immersed herself into the study and practice of mind-body-spirit wellness. She discovered how it helped heal her chronic depression and anxiety, and since then, has devoted her life to self-care, self-love, and artistic self-expression.
Dena’s artwork and paintings weave with her eclectic background as a yoga teacher, energy healer, animal and plant lover, soul conversationalist and former stand-up comedian. As artist and modern day medicine-woman, she relies on her 30 year yoga/meditation practice, professional design background, unique healing abilities and heart-centered approach to create “spirit” art. She also guides others to understand and connect with their own quests and transformations in meaningful and fun ways. She lives in the Arizona Sonoran Desert, with her partner.
