When I first began writing and painting after my heartbreak, it felt like a cry — an echo of all that I had been through, spilling out onto the page and canvas. My book began from that place: a deep, aching need to tell my story, to give voice to what had been silenced.
But as the days unfolded, something unexpected began to happen. My art started speaking back to
This painting, in particular, taught me something profound. I sat down with my canvas, took off my glasses, picked up my brush with my left hand — my non-dominant hand — and I let go. I didn’t think about form or shape, I simply trusted. I already knew there were two figures hidden in the layers, but I didn’t try to force them forward. I let my Higher Self play.
And play, she did. With softened vision and untrained strokes, she revealed the whispers of spirit: two figures in dialogue, two presences layered in light and shadow.
Then came another part of me — the grounded Jenn, the one who sees clearly with glasses on, the one who knows how to tidy up and bring order. I stepped in to refine, to give form, to honor what had emerged without erasing its mystery.
It struck me that this is not just how I paint, but how I live.
✨ My Higher Self paints the whispers.
✨ Jenn paints the echoes.
And together, they create something more whole than either could alone.
What began as a cry has now become a celebration. A celebration of the dialogue between Spirit and Self, between shadow and light, between the parts of me that see beyond and the parts of me that ground it here in this
This book, this art, this journey — it’s no longer only about what I endured. It’s about what I am discovering. About reclaiming the wonder, the vision, the Seer’s eyes I have carried all along.
And as I continue painting between two worlds, I know now: I am not just healing, I am becoming.
