Spiritual Art
Where creativity meets connection with Spirit
For as long as I can remember, art and Spirit have been my two great loves. My journey began years ago, during my A Level Art & Design project, “Spiritual Art.” I explored auras, aura photography, spiritual symbolism in art, and even interviewed artists about weaving their own spiritual gifts into their creative work. Guided by Spirit and angels, it was a magical time of discovery that deepened both my artistic confidence and my belief in the unseen world.
Those early experiences planted a seed that has grown into my work today, blending psychic and mediumistic guidance with original, intuitive artworks.
Every artwork I create is more than just an image, it’s a conversation between colour, symbolism, and Spirit. Each piece is unique to you, holding messages, guidance, and energy that reflect your journey, created through a deep connection with Spirit, offering comfort, insight, and inspiration.
Here are my offerings:
🌈 Auragraph Reading – £55 (+£2.50 UK postage) (Live or remote)
An Auragraph is like a visual map of your energy. Using whichever medium feels right at that time (be it coloured pencils, pens, pastels, etc.), I create an intuitive piece filled with colours, shapes, words and symbols inspired by your energy and information communicated from your Spirit Guides. Alongside your artwork, you’ll receive a reading explaining the imagery and messages. Perfect if you’d like a meaningful keepsake that captures your current energy and guidance.
An auragraph reading can be conducted either ‘live’ in a Zoom meeting, or ‘remote’ where I complete the reading by tapping into your energy without the need for you to be present. A live session will include an interpretation of the auragraph during the session, whereas a remote reading will be accompanied by either a written or recorded interpretation.
You are welcome to get in touch to book this as a remote session, or you can book a live session yourself on Calendly.
Here is an example of an auragraph I produced for myself. In this example, the first thing that came into my mind was ‘storm in a teacup’ which very much represented something I had been feeling that day. I then doodled out some of that energy and, after first receiving some very kind words of support and reassurance, my very playful Guides took the reigns and started singing sea shanties to make light of the whole thing! Which felt like the perfect offer of perspective I needed at that time.
Testimonial
“I received a beautiful art interpretation of my aura energy. Being able to sit and watch, via zoom, Laura draw as she felt into my energy was amazing. I certainly had a couple of wow moments, one being the horses as they have a special meaning to me. I knew the session was being recorded so didn’t feel the pressure of having to write down what she was saying at the time.”
Would you recommend this experience to others?
Absolutely. You can request the art work to be posted out to you plus you have a recorded or written meaning of the drawing. She also followed up, via email, with further information for me to research.

💞 Live Auragraph Reading and Spirit-Led Reiki Healing – £75 (+£2.50 UK postage where applicable)
Discover a unique blend of healing and spiritual insight with my Live Auragraph & Spirit-Led Reiki session. This special session combines the soothing, restorative energy of Reiki with a live, intuitive artwork that reflects your personal energy and spiritual essence.
During the session, you’ll begin with a Spirit-Led Reiki healing, allowing you to relax deeply and open to the flow of universal energy. For this, you can simply relax in a chair or lie down, as I open up my energy field to invite in benevolent, healing energies and beings, such as Spirit Guides and Angels, to channel universal lifeforce energy to you for your highest, greatest good. Following the healing (which generally takes around 20-30 minutes, though you can rest in it for a good while longer), I will create an auragraph: a channelled, intuitive interpretation of your energy and spiritual story in that moment, along with guidance from Spirit. Each auragraph is unique, capturing your unique energetic vibrations, offering insight, inspiration, and a tangible connection to your personal journey. When I have completed the drawing, I will talk you through the information that came through in your auragraph, and this will be recorded for you to watch back whenever you wish.
Expect this session to last for around 1 hour. This currently takes place over Zoom, with in-person availability coming soon. You are welcome to get in touch to book this session, or you can book yourself on Calendly.
These sessions are perfect for anyone seeking spiritual guidance, energy healing, and a meaningful, personalised keepsake that reflects their inner self. Whether you are new to reiki or a seasoned spiritual seeker, this combination of healing and spiritual art provides a deeply relaxing and enlightening experience.
💫 Encaustic Art Reading – £65 (+£2.50 UK postage)
With molten wax as my medium, I create an expressive, abstract artwork full of movement, depth, and hidden details. Once complete, I ‘read’ the piece (much like a Rorschach (inkblot) image), uncovering symbols, impressions, and guidance from Spirit. You’ll receive both the original artwork and a written interpretation of what came through.
Example reading
Pictured is an encaustic art piece I created for myself. The picture as a whole feels like some kind of ancient Greek epic: there is so much energy, chaos even, and a feeling of turmoil as I look at it. The darker colours to the left feel almost like the underworld, with tree branches, or even clawing hands reaching out towards the centre of the page. But then bursting out of the top/centre in golden waves are the phoenix and Pegasus (both of which feature in Greek mythology). The phoenix of course symbolises rebirth, and (after a quick bit of research) Pegasus can symbolise inspiration, ‘the creative spirit,’ and of course, freedom in its ability to soar among the clouds. I can also see a bird in flight. It feels to me like a sea bird, and suddenly ‘heron’ drops into my mind. On further research, the Heron was a messenger of the Gods in Greek mythology which interestingly fits with the theme of a Greek epic I am feeling when I look at the picture. The heron is often referred to as a symbol of transition between earthly and spiritual realms. The feeling here for me is one of rebirth and emergence from a dark time into the light. I feel this reflects an inner battle or conflict, which ultimately results in renewal, and an expansion into a time of inspiration, creativity, increased freedom, and spiritual growth.
Symbolism and interpretation in an Encaustic Art Reading
The beauty of an Encaustic Art Reading is that it is so subjective. I will be drawn to images in the picture that others may not be (and I believe this is a joint response to my own biases and intuition as well as guidance I am receiving from Spirit), and you as the receiver of the artwork may find your own symbolism and images that mean something to you that I did not see. The possibilities are endless, but I trust that we will each see what we are meant to. I have only given a brief example above, but you can see how the message begins to flow (much as in the same way a traditional reading does) as I notice something and words drop into my head (which I consider to be messages from Spirit), and further investigation of the symbols I can see in the image reveals more guidance and wisdom.
🎨 Aura Portrait Reading – £145 (+£3.50 UK postage)
This is my most detailed and time-intensive spiritual artwork, created for those who want something truly special. I begin by hand-drawing your portrait in coloured pencil, then surround it with an intuitive depiction of your aura, including colours, symbols, and messages from Spirit. You’ll also receive a detailed written reading explaining the insights that came through. Because of the time involved (often over 12 hours), this is a limited-availability service.
Each piece is unique, created especially for you, and infused with guidance from Spirit.
The process: I produce an A4 drawing using a photograph as a reference for your portrait (or whomever it is for), and then tune in psychically to your energy, with the help of my guides, to add colours and shapes to your aura, along with a little of my own artistic flair. The end result will be completely unique to you!
An aura portrait can be a wonderful treat for yourself or someone else, with the insight it brings and the gift of knowing what a magical person you really are! Due to the nature of an aura reading, I’m afraid aura portrait readings bought as a gift for someone else cannot be given as a surprise, as I require permission from the person I am reading. Your aura is a very personal part of your being, and as an ethical practitioner I will not look into it without permission.
Pictured is an aura self-portrait: I tuned into my guides and asked their advice about ‘what should I add next?’ and ‘what do you think – blue or green?’ and went where I was guided. I very much felt it was a good idea to add lots of bubbles, which I feel hold a double meaning of the inspiration and ideas that pop in and out of my head, as well as, I feel, representing my guides and loved ones in Spirit – a comforting thought. I feel the orange colour around my head represents creativity, and purple colour represents my spirituality. I also felt guided to add little violet flowers at the bottom: violets grow in dark, shady places and I feel much of my own growth has come from adversity. It’s fascinating stuff!
Below are two examples of Aura Portrait Readings I have completed for my clients. As you can see they are very different, completely individual, and filled with symbolism which is explained in a written commentary, which accompanies the portrait.

“Laura created a beautiful aura portrait from me using a photo I provided and the detail is fantastic and I am so very grateful for the portrait. The portrait was presented with a reading commentary which again is wonderfully written and so well put together it is joyful ❤️ I am so grateful to have this portrait and reading commentary in my life which I can refer to and enjoy looking at 🙏 I would totally recommend Laura if you are considering getting an aura portrait commissioned.”

What is an Aura?
The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds all living things, and it can provide information about your personality, your mood, your interests – all sorts of things. When I connect with your energy, I may be shown colours, shapes, animals, flowers, and more, to symbolise unique information about you. I have found in recent readings that the colours I have seen have morphed into pictures that represented hobbies and vocations. It’s truly fascinating stuff and I’m learning more all the time. It’s also important, I feel, to say what it is not: it is not about reading your thoughts, or diagnosing anything, I do not predict the future, and I always keep the reading positive.
