Live Love Shaman Golden Deer

So many of us love the outdors and nature and catch our breath with wonder when we we catch sight of a Deer in the woods. This is my Golden Shaman Deer painting. 

This mixed-media piece invites a sense of spirited wonder, featuring a stylized, golden-hued creature that feels both ancient and contemporary. With its sweeping blue antlers and soulful gaze, the figure stands as a guardian of the "Live Love" message etched into the background.

You know me through Sunheart—as a fashion desinger of color, flowing fabrics, goddess styles, and all things boho.

But I have another love, my lifelong love of art, painting, and spiritual creativity. Lately, I’ve felt called to share that side again.

The world feels full of noise and change—and everywhere we turn, there’s talk of AI, technology, and what it means to stay human in the middle of it all. I even asked a chatbot a question about what humans can do in to retain our hands on creativity, and its answer surprised me—and inspired this vlog and podcast on Kristena West Art & Healing on YouTube and Podcast on KristenaWestArt.com/podcast

I think many of us are craving something that restores us—something real. For me, that’s creativity. Whether it’s color, brush, fabric, or the courage to make something new, it’s how I find balance, hope, and joy.

So I’ve started a new vlog series about creativity and soul connection. It’s my way of offering you a breath of inspiration—a reminder that your creative spark matters, especially now, in a world that sometimes feels like it’s forgetting the human touch.
