The intention of my work is to hold up a mirror to the creative soul so they may return home to themselves.
I am an artist and intuitive healer based in Brooklyn. My work merges portraiture with energy healing to offer a unique experience of healing through art. The Energy Portraits depict a subject in both their physical and energetic forms, illuminating the multidimensional nature of the self.
Many creative souls give their energy to support institutions and professional work that often leaves them feeling estranged from their innate talents and gifts. While this work can be very meaningful, it may also lead to a state of depletion as their energy is gradually siphoned away from fulfilling its expression in this world. Through my practice, I create a supported space to witness, honor, and reflect the light that is seen back to those who give so much of themselves so it may return to them.
Each portrait experience establishes a compassionate and empathic connection between artist and subject, a space in which to receive the insight and guidance creative consciousness has to offer. Throughout this process, I see visions that take symbolic, geometric, and energetic forms. I render as faithfully as I can what I intuitively witness.
While the portrait process is deeply personal, what comes through for the individual also includes universal insight. With the consent of the sitter, the resulting work is shared as part of the Energy Portrait Project so that all who resonate with the work may benefit, as well.
My name is Rachael Pullin.

I have come to know creative energy as an intelligent energy that wants to help us heal—all we have to do is open to it. It is in this spirit that I approach my Energy Portrait series.
Words about the experience…

"Sitting for my Energy Portraits with Rachael was a wonderful experience. I not only learned about myself, but also received positive affirmation about things I already knew that simply needed a gentle nudge. The portraits were stunning, unique, and original, and told a story that made me feel seen and heard. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to explore their inner self."

"The portraiture experience with Rachael was one of the most significant healing experiences of my life. Allowing myself to be seen so deeply, and have that vision reflected back to me with such care, was transformative. When Rachael revealed my physical portrait, I was overwhelmed with unconditional self-compassion—a feeling of pure love for my flawed being that had never been accessible to me before. And when she unveiled my energy portraits, I felt a flash of recognition and joy. Altogether, it was like a homecoming. Long after our work together, her art and her insight provide me with grounding, guidance and hope. It is impossible to articulate my gratitude for Rachael’s work."

"Working with Rachael was such a loving and special experience. I felt deeply seen and have so much gratitude for the way she held space for me during the interview process. The resulting portraits are not only beautiful, but carry profound meaning and insight channeled through Rachael from my Guiding Ones/Spirit Team. These portraits and their corresponding captions serve as a reminder that I am always being guided and supported. "
