America—and the world—have carried a lot this past year. I feel it too. So I’m stepping into this new year with a steady heart and simple intentions: warmth, comfort, beauty, and the kind of bright color that helps me keep going.

our decorated tree, breathing there
among the metallic angels, ceramic apples, stars of yarn,
its eyes open, like mine as I lie in bed tonight
picturing this rare, lucky sparrow
tucked into a holly bush now,
a light snow tumbling through the windless dark.

A great lagenlook tunic changes the whole mood of a woman’s day. She slips it on and instantly feels more spacious, more graceful, more herself. The fabric moves when she moves, so her body relaxes and her presence turns confident. It’s the kind of piece that makes her walk into a room with ease—artful, feminine, and quietly powerful.

Original 16" x 20" Collage & Oil Painting by Kristena West, M.A.

I create Sophia as a being who arrives through color. She floats across a shifting field of crimson and deep rose, and her turquoise robe glows like inner radiance rising from within the canvas itself. As I work, I feel her presence forming through layers of oil, collage, and metallic detail, each stroke revealing her more fully.

Her wings are real metal—thin, hand-etched, and shimmering with quiet light. I attach them so they catch the eye immediately, a physical presence that gives her a sense of sacred arrival. Above her dark hair rests a jeweled crown, and the moment I place it, she becomes a young mystic, a celestial messenger, a figure who steps forward from the threshold with blessing energy.

Around her, the background swirls between green, violet, and red. These colors create a luminous, soft atmosphere that makes her appear weightless, as if she is mid-arrival into the viewer’s world. This is the moment I love most in painting: when an archetype begins to breathe.

My work in cross-cultural iconography always guides me as I paint divine feminine forms. I listen for the essence behind the image—the archetype that moves through many cultures and holds its presence across time. Sophia appears as a guide, an inner teacher, a luminous spark in the center of the heart.

Collectors who resonate with feminine archetypes, goddess imagery, mixed media, and symbolic storytelling often connect deeply to this piece. Sophia carries the energy of awakening, compassion, and the quiet authority of a young oracle.

She is currently available in my studio, and she feels like a painting meant for someone who works with inner light, color meditation, or sacred spaces in their home.

If you feel a spark when you see her, that is the beginning of a conversation between you and the painting—and that conversation is the true magic of art.

scarf, scarves holiday ornament, gift, home and garden

SILK VELVET SQUARE SHAWL. Beautiful, Really Big perfect for winter wear. Care; dry clean

This rare 50x50" red peacock silk burnout velvet scarf is a showstopper — an opulent piece of wearable art. The vivid red silk background glows with hand-detailed embroidery and velvet appliqué, featuring a pair of regal peacocks surrounded by lush flowers in deep jewel tones. The velvet burnout technique gives it that sheer, luxurious shimmer only real silk can create, and the beadwork adds a subtle, mesmerizing sparkle when it catches the light. Perfect as a shawl, wall hanging, or draped over your favorite chair, this one carries an unmistakable vintage allure.

You simply can’t get these anymore — this style of handworked silk and velvet artistry has vanished from today’s market. Similar pieces now sell for five times the original price, making this a true collector’s treasure. Whether you’re a lover of exotic textiles or an admirer of timeless bohemian glamour, this red peacock scarf is an heirloom-worthy find.

Must Be the Season of the Witch | Connecting with the Dead

Many of you know me as the boho goddess garment gal...That’s still me. But I’m also an artist, Dream teacher and life coach since the 90's. I’ve started recording weekly YouTube vlogs where I talk about the deeper side of our lives — dreams, intuition, ancestors, creativity, and personal power as we get older.

This week’s episode is called “Must Be the Season of the Witch | Connecting with the Dead,” and it’s perfect for this time of year when the air shifts and the veil feels thin. 

I’m sharing true stories (including a warning dream I had for a client), how to work with messages from loved ones who’ve crossed over, and how to build a simple healing ritual to release what you’re done carrying. If you’ve been feeling someone with you… if you’ve been dreaming more… if you’re ready to clear old energy and call your strength back — make a cup of tea, and watch. 🔮✨

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.

Thank you for walking this journey with me, for all the years of support, and for being the radiant women who make Sunheart what it is.

There’s something magical about black. It’s the color of mystery, moonlight, and pure goddess confidence. Whether you’re draped in shimmering gold-on-black, wrapped in a flowing kimono, or stepping out in all-black simplicity, these are the garments that whisper power and presence.
