Reawaken your soul. Realize your own becoming.
the art isn’t just the work—it’s the way home.
Heather Hanson | Artist. Mystic. Vessel of Divine Story
I paint from the threshold—between what was and what’s becoming.
Each piece a portal.
Each mark a memory.
This is the art of return.

“Heather has helped me come home to myself...I look at Heather as one of my Soul Guides. She has led me to the wisdom of my own consciousness, helped me discover my own truth, given me tools to rediscover my inner self, my soul, my spirit, and the importance of the present moment.”
Colleen L, Collector
the art of remembering what’s true.
Disruption isn’t rebellion—it’s return.
To the body. To the self. To the wild truth that never left.
In my studio, inquiry is sacred.
Each canvas dares to ask:
“Who said I had to…
…wear shoes that hurt my feet?”
…wake at 5:00 AM to prove my worth?”
…shrink to fit someone else’s story?
…smile while carrying the weight of it all?
the brush speaks when we stop pretending.
the work becomes a reckoning—
and a homecoming.
the questions are the work.
Let them rise. Let them reshape you
about the artist
I create from the threshold—between old identities and new embodiments.
Between what was expected and what is true.
I no longer strive to be something for others.
I create from within. From alignment. From Love.
My work is grounded in Divine Union—the foundation of all things.
From this Source, everything flows—
The Love that carries the brush.
The recognition that rises through texture.
Color is light made visible—truth realized in pigment.
The sacred stories that bring us closer to compassion.
I paint as one who has returned to herself—layer by layer.
Just like the work.
The canvas is the bearer of ancestral memory—
a place where deeper knowing becomes visible once more.
Myth allows us to see what’s real—without fear.
And so, I paint.
—Heather Hanson, Artist. Mystic. Vessel of Divine Story.
the true self remembers.
the journey back to myself.
I once dreamed of being an artist.
But the climb was cleaner than the fall—
and the corporate suits came with sorrow.
Fancy titles. Tight shoes. Loss of freedom.
My body spoke before I could.
It said: enough.
Enough of proving.
Enough of pleasing.
Enough of disappearing.
Illness cracked me open.
In the stillness of treatment, I painted again— and remembered who I was.
I recovered color in the dark.
I found truth in texture.
And my brush whispered:
You were always an artist.
filling the world with color, courage, and quiet knowing.
the art.
Heart. Mind. Body. Spirit. How I create.
My process is elemental and intuitive—a living dialogue between soul, canvas, and myth.
Tenets of my Creations
sacred listening
Each painting begins in silence—
a space of deep listening,
where presence precedes plan..
layered Memory
Each layer holds something remembered.
Something reclaimed.
symbolic transmission
Visual language born of prayer, archetype, and soul.
spiritual embodiment
Truth in form—not polish or performance.
archetypal mirror
These works hold mythic truth. They are mirrors tha treflect your soul’s story with compassion and clarity.
energetic completion
I paint until it feels whole—until the work rests.
Until it speaks, “I am complete.”
“There is nothing outside the sacred. To live from Divine Union is to remember:
You have never been separate.
You are whole.
You are seen.
You are heard.
You are loved. Always.”
— Heather Hanson
bearing witness to human becoming is still at the heart of what I do.
spiritual direction lives in my work
holding space
Though I no longer offer spiritual direction formally, my art is still an act of sacred witnessing.
As a trained spiritual director, I listen for what lives underneath— what has not been spoken but is ready to take shape.
Each piece I create holds space.
It mirrors the soul.
It offers presence where language falls away.
welcoming
with reverence and care
Listening
beyond words
Trusting
what is ready to emerge
Holding
what arrives with compassion.
this isn’t just how i paint. it’s how i live.

You’ve seen the work.
You’ve heard the story.
Now come step into the space where it lives.welcome to my new studio in saint joseph, Minnesota
This is my sanctuary.
A creative altar of color, story, and spirit—where energy becomes form.
A working studio and intimate gallery space—
open by appointment.
open to possibility.
Come explore the layers.
Come sit with the work.
Come home to yourself
through myth unfolding in form.
Where you remember you can trust yourself. Be yourself.
Love yourself.
From my former studio. Now creating in Saint Joseph, MN.for the ones remembering
This work is for those who’ve been pushed to the edges —
by systems, by silence, by the stories they were told about who they were allowed to be.
Often the ones unseen.
The ones shaped to shrink.
The ones told to stay small.
Always the seekers.
The ones remembering.
The ones returning.
The ones finally ready to see themselves in full.
this is who i am now.
An artist unbound.
A woman creating what wants to live.
A soul devoted to truth in form.
If you feel something stir as you view the work—
you’re already in the conversation.
