The “Impossible” Gift You Can’t Buy (But Might Give Anyway)

When words fall short, a meaningful spiritual gift might still reach them.

What do you give someone when no store-bought gift feels quite right?

I’ve often asked myself that—especially when someone is grieving, navigating a transition, or simply in need of something deeper than another candle or gift card. That’s what led me to the idea of the impossible gift or a meaningful spiritual gift: something you can’t really buy… but might still give anyway.

Over time, I realized this was exactly what I was trying to do with my art.

Goddess is a celebration of the sacred feminine—powerful, radiant, and rooted in global wisdom. This artwork honors the women who hold the world together—mothers, healers, and changemakers. I made it to be a daily reminder of strength, balance, and beauty.

Giving the Gift of Feeling

I try to make images that carry something: a sense of peace, a moment of calm, a reminder of inner strength. Sometimes that’s all someone needs to feel just a little bit better.

And this kind of gift doesn’t have to cost anything.

I often hear from people who’ve saved one of my artworks as their phone wallpaper or shared it with a friend who needed a lift. When someone writes to tell me that an image helped them feel better in some way—it truly makes my day.

If a piece you come across on my social media pages or my website resonates with you, you are absolutely welcome to share it, save it, or send it to someone who needs it. That’s part of giving a meaningful spiritual gift. It means the energy made it where it was meant to go.

And if you ever want to bring that energy into your physical space—or give it as a heartfelt, lasting gift—I also offer art prints, cards, and other items in my shop. Each one is created with the same love and intention.

In this short video below from my studio, I share more about how I approach creating art as a kind of emotional and energetic gift—especially for those moments when words fall short.

Sacred Symbols, Global Roots

Much of my work pulls from ancient and cross-cultural symbolism: sacred geometry, handmade patterns, and global visual languages passed down through generations.

When I sit down to draw, I’m not just making lines and marks—I’m connecting to something older, wider, and deeper than myself.

My Sacred Geometry & Symbols series grew out of that impulse. Each piece combines hand-drawn patterns and symbols from every continent.

“It Made Me Smile for the First Time in Weeks”

Over the last few years, I’ve received messages that have humbled me to my core—notes from people going through illness, heartbreak, depression. Somehow, they stumbled across an image I made, and something shifted. A smile. A breath. A moment of feeling seen. Some even wrote the “H-word,”…. healing.

That’s the kind of “impossible gift” I believe in.

I used to think I was just pretending that colors and symbols could heal. But if pretending leads to someone feeling even a tiny bit better… maybe it’s not pretend at all.

If you are an artist or creative person, I can share more of my tips on bringing that good vibe energy more into your own work here.

Remembering What I Came Here For

For almost two decades, I wore the title “professor” and focused mainly on digital art. But if you had met me at fifteen, I’d have told you I wanted to create art that heals. That builds bridges. That makes people feel less alone.

These days, I’m unlearning the need to always be polished or “professional.” I’m reconnecting with the younger version of me—the one who believed in magic and energy and the healing power of a well-placed spiral.

I’m a little woo, yes. But not just woo. I’ve seen enough to know that art carries energy. That intention matters. And that sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand hugs.

Not Sure Where to Start? Here Are a Few Pieces You Might Like

If you’re curious about finding a piece that supports your energy, your space, or someone you love—here are a few starting points.

Each artwork below is created with specific energies and intentions in mind. You can use them as visual meditations, spiritual anchors, or simply as a reminder of what you’re inviting into your life.

For Peace, Unity & Oneness

Two of my favorite pieces that speak to interconnectedness, calm, and spiritual wholeness:

• Spiral: Woven Together in Unity

For Abundance & Manifestation

A piece to support financial and energetic flow, rooted in Celtic traditions but supported by abundance symbols from every continent across time, place, and culture.

Great for grounding, compassion, and honoring the feminine spirit:

Thank You for Being Here

Whether you’re just exploring, saving an image to your phone, or choosing a print for your space—I’m honored to be part of your journey.

Maybe you didn’t find this by chance. Maybe it found you. If it stirred something in you, trust that it arrived right on time.

And if you ever want to send someone an “impossible gift”—or give one to yourself—well, maybe now you know where to start. ✨

All best wishes,
Kristen
