About Angela

The Art of Presence

I have always been drawn to what can’t be seen—energy, memory, essence.
 For years I guided others as a counselor, principal, and mentor, helping people uncover the truths hidden beneath their roles and expectations. Eventually, I discovered that my truest language was not only words, but art.

When I paint, I don’t just create images. I create presence—living works that breathe into a space, shifting its energy and calling those who stand before them into deeper clarity.

When I mentor, I don’t just offer advice. I offer soul attunement—a voice that helps you hear your own essence more clearly, so life aligns with truth.

A Life of Transformation

My path has taken me from classrooms to mountaintops, from deep despair to luminous renewal. Along the way, I’ve learned that the greatest luxury we can give ourselves is to live from essence—to surround ourselves with beauty, to move with clarity, to create from truth.

This is why I create.

This is why I mentor.

Because presence isn’t optional—it is the art of living.

An Invitation

Whether through a painting that transforms the energy of your space, or a private mentoring journey that transforms the energy of your life—my work exists for those who choose to live surrounded by beauty, clarity, and depth.

Luxury is presence.
 And presence changes everything.

I won’t assume you hear this all the time but if you don’t or do, you are beyond words I can describe…. But I’ll try.

You are a gift to humanity I know the universe gave us. I’m grateful for all the work you have done and are doing for us. Even though I can recall so much of what you opened and taught the first encounter we had, I did not grasp the wisdom at the time. But I was determined to grasp it because whether I understood it at the time was irrelevant. What was relevant, was my unquestionable confidence that it was true. I didn’t I imagine at the time the impact of what you are to me.

That was 7 years ago. Feels like yesterday. Time has been funny like that with me lately.
In some ways, that weekend may have been the first day I lived. Didn’t know it then, didn’t necessarily know it this morning but I believe I do now.

Thank you for the clarity you blessed me with this afternoon. I’m already feeling a calming and a directional path. It’s not overwhelming for once. I’m enjoying it. I don’t recall another time other than my son’s birth that I felt this kind of focus. That other time it was fleeting but this time it is not… I’m holding on to it and I know I can bring myself back to it when I need to again. This blessing was more than I could have expected for in this never-ending chaotic mind of mine.

I hope to share or discuss more in 6 months with you and possibly to share with others to return the blessings back to you.
