Energy Portraits

Energy Portraits illuminate the multidimensional nature of each sitter, both in physical and energetic forms.

Energy Portraits are an intuitive artistic modality I developed that merges art with energy healing. Each portrait experience facilitates an encounter with the soul of those I sit with and the innate wisdom they carry; this is a collaborative vision between the sitter and the unseen aspects of their consciousness, the healing energies I work with, and myself as artist and channel.

During the creative process, I intuitively see forms that reflect the subject. Some are geometries, some are symbolic, and others are purely energetic in their composition. I draw and capture in words what is seen, heard, and felt in this space. The art becomes a tangible catalyst for alignment and healing and speaks to an individual’s consciousness on multiple levels.

The portraits communicate to each sitter what they may need to see or hear in the present stage of their soul’s journey. What has been, what is, and what may be, are all met without judgement while holding the sitter in the light of their own beauty.

I am honored to do this work, to witness the incredible beings who sit with me, and to share these visions of the creative consciousness that dwells in us all.

A Note On Consent

The following portrait series have been shared with the consent of the sitter. I believe that consent, both in art and in healing work, is very important. For each portrait, great care has been taken to ensure that what is shared is in the highest good. For this reason, there are aspects of the work that will always remain confidential. The text that accompanies each portrait tends toward communicating insights that are universal in nature while remaining true to the specific experience of the individual depicted. In certain instances, names or part of the series have been withheld to respect the privacy of the sitter. This has been noted on the individual series page.

Detail of an Energy Portrait by Rachael Pullin in graphite and gold

“I remember, I remember, I remember...”

Rachael Pullin, Suspension (detail from Suspension, Convergence, Unity), 2021. Graphite, watercolor, and gold on paper.

When aspects of the self are in a state of separation, full embodiment of one’s experience remains elusive, and our inner evolution slows to a state of suspension. If these planes are out of alignment, a continual loss of energy occurs.

In this portrait, two planes of consciousness appeared misaligned. One contained the vital force, the other the energy of the heart. The angle of the forms caused the energy to flow over the edges of each plane until its light faded into the surrounding void. These planes curved slightly inward upon themselves. There was a sense of allowing and loss alongside an impulse toward retraction…and impending redirection.

The source of this energy was POWERFUL.

The planes were connected by an illuminated line that felt like a soul line, reaching vertically between the two. It appeared as a golden thread of conscious information animating these forms.

There are times when a protective instinct splits our experience, when the heart resides in one dimension and the vital force in another. But they are not meant to be separate. The soul is always replenishing these aspects, its resources filling the same emptying experiences for a time. Yet, it also seeks unification, and these energies may be redirected at its discretion.

The soul line is the line one must follow. It may be taxed but it is never fully diminished and will always provide the power and direction to move.
