my studio is an expression of love
Ginger E. Smith, PhD
artist + energy intuitive
We are artists of our human experience, shaping our reality with each thought and emotion. Since awakening to this deeper understanding, I know my purpose is to help others connect with their authenticity and intuition.
Like most artists, I was born with an intense curiosity and sensitivity, which led me to express myself freely and authentically. Eventually, though, the world made me feel I was "too much." I explored multiple career paths and diverse fields of study trying to find where I felt at home. While my path meandered, in hindsight, it was an essential aspect of my growing awareness. In the midst of it, I felt truly lost!
My heart was chasing connection but my mind saw it as chasing accolades and figuring out my niche. I eventually settled into art history and earned a doctorate, spending nearly three years working in assessment development. My PhD journey became both my unraveling and my salvation--it sparked a profound spiritual awakening. After two years working as an expert in Art History, I found myself deeply unfulfilled with quiet murmurings in my heart calling me to return to authentic expression.
Thankfully, I already had a powerful tool for healing to help me negotiate this awakening. As a yoga practitioner, I'd often experience cathartic release from emotional density during asana. Initially my focus was my own mental health and self-inquiry, but I soon wanted to share what had helped me. Since 2018, I have devoted my life to sharing yoga and techniques of energetic alignment to aid others on their personal wellness journeys. My art practice integrates intuitive energy work with a strong desire to reveal and celebrate authenticity.
