Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows!
I am excited to share “Intuition”, a fractal art/AI collage highlighting animal wisdom, and the lessons animals can teach us if we just listen.
Use this art in your space to enhance your inner voice and personal growth. This art is also in my new oracle card deck “Messages from the Animals” with an emphasis on Alaskan wildlife and the energy I experienced first hand with them.
Owls are known for their ability to see and hear things that are not immediately apparent. Find strength in intuition and inner wisdom. Navigate life’s transitions with grace, develop clairvoyance, and practice silent adaptability. Trust your inner guidance, knowing that inner wisdom is the key to understanding the mysteries of life. Check out this show to learn about some of my first hand experiences with owls and all the things we can learn from them.
This art is an Ai/fractal art collage with subliminal and visible layers from my “Path with Heart”collection. The layers add energy to stay on your own path with heart.

“Intuition” Energy Art
“Intuition” energy art by Mary Ann Benoit
Owls have a lot to teach us! • Owls, symbolize wisdom through their keen sight and ability to navigate in the dark, urging reliance on intuition. • Owls, known for perceiving the unseen, offer a spiritual lesson in developing clairvoyance, heightened perception, and gaining insight beyond the surface. • Silent hunters, they inspire a lesson in adapting to challenges with quiet grace, navigating life’s hurdles without making noise. • They remind us to be observant, paying attention to life’s details. • They are often linked to the spirit world, hinting at a connection to unseen realms and the mysteries beyond the physical world. • Owls, displaying patience in their hunting, teach us the value of waiting for the right moment, emphasizing patience and understanding timing in our endeavors. • Solitary creatures, they convey a lesson in independence, urging us to embrace self-sufficiency. • Their graceful flight serves as a lesson in moving through life with elegance, grace, and poise.
How can you use Energy Art in your space?
Do the lessons from the owl resonate with you? Are they things you want to attract more of in your own life, such as being self sufficient, learning patience and how to wait for the right moment, and how to adapt to challenges with grace?
Do you want to increase your own intuition and ability to “see” what may not be obvious to others in order to better navigate in your own life?
I put my energy to attract these things into the art. If you want these things, when you see it in your space it makes the energy of the art even more powerful and helps attract those things to you.
Because this art is digital, it can also be put on a variety of home decor products such as pillows, bedding, rugs, wall murals, and more. This helps create a variety of ways to use it in your space.

Aligned Energy Art is another layer of meaning beyond the visual beauty in creating your perfect space that is aligned with who you want to be.
What is Energy Art?
I infuse my emotions, intentions, and energy into the artwork I create, to convey specific qualities or benefits—such as prosperity—to you. As you engage with the art, you absorb the intended emotions and intentions, and align them with your own energy. This dynamic interaction generates a powerful force that resonates with your intentions, essentially harnessing the energy in the artwork and combining it with your own to attract and manifest what you want.
How? Emotions, which are energy in motion, serve as a catalyst for this connection.
Energy art is the foundation of Interior Design that not only is beautiful but is transformative and enriches your life by expressing your true essence and supporting your potential.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- “Adaptability” – What we can learn from an Arctic Fox
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows!
I am excited to share “Adaptability”, the first in a new series of art on animal wisdom, and lessons animals can teach us if we just listen. I will use the art from this series in a new oracle card deck, “Messages from the Animals”, with an emphasis on Alaskan wildlife.
All the art will be of animals I have had experience with in the wild, experiencing their energy first hand. I’ll combine that knowledge with other things I have learned about their spiritual meanings in different cultures.
By putting animal wisdom energy art in your home and design, it is a supportive reminder of things you may be trying to adopt more of for your own personal growth.
“Adaptability”— Embrace the wisdom of the Arctic Fox, embodying adaptability and resilience. Learn to blend in when necessary, be resourceful and patient in your endeavors, and find joy even in challenging times. Navigate life’s changes with grace, knowing that your adaptability will lead to triumph.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- “Prosperity” Energy Art and Edesign
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows!
I hope you enjoy my new collection, “Prosperity”, that was inspired by an intention that I set with a fellow artist. Our intention was that our art would serve as a powerful catalyst for connecting people, and fostering prosperity in the lives of both the creators and recieves the art. The idea inspired this AI/fractal art collage, showing a woman recieving the gift of prosperity through art. It is overlayed with fractal art hearts from my “Path with Heart” collection, adding the energy of living a path with heart and being who you are truly meant to be. It also has a fractal overlay from my “Outside/Inside” collection, helping inspire you to maintain your inner peace, regardless of what is happening on the outside. These are hard to see, but add submliminal messages to uplift and support you.
I thought an office space would be a perfect place to have art that attracts prosperity, so I designed this space with the art as the foundation for the energy and colors. This is a great example of how art can transform the energy around you and serve as the foundation for your Interior Design.
Raise the vibe in your space today. Great design starts with energy. Surround yourself with art that reminds you what is important and enhances the energy of your space and your potential. When your space is better, you are better. When you are better, the world is better. The world needs you.

When you fuse art, science, and energy in your design, magic happens. And trust me, it’s simpler than waiting for the stars to align!
The perfect piece of art doesn’t just beautify a room—it anchors it, delighting the eye, dictating the color theme, and setting the room’s energy. Changing the art can change the energy of your room. Let art breathe life into your home.
While ‘energy’ might sound intangible, you’ll recognize its presence the moment you step into a room. Everything in your space, tangible and intangible, is woven from this energy. And don’t we all want our rooms to not just look, but also feel spectacular?
I am also an energy artist, and my designs include custom energy art and home decor that ties your design together, creating beauty, harmonizing your colors and reminding you what is important to you. I create art specifically to support you.
Your perfect space is key to your well-being.
Imagine a space that looks great, feels great, and supports you to be great.
“Buzz and Flow” by artist Brooke Harker in an Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
Art’s energy in your space stems from three main elements:
The room’s designer, be it a professional interior designer or yourself, shapes the ambiance, setting the stage for the art.
The artist pours their emotions and interpretations into the artwork, giving it its unique vibrancy.
Lastly, you breathe life into the art, interpreting it through the lens of your own experiences and emotions.
Your selection of art determines the energy you want to surround yourself with.
How the Room Designer Affects the Energy of the Room
I created this Living Room Edesign to showcase the versatility of purple in Global Style designs. This is part of a series exploring how different Global Styles can be achieved using various colors. Global styles like Indian, Turkish, Mexican, Moroccan, Greek, and Bohemian are known for their vibrant hues, eco-friendliness, cultural treasures, and close ties to nature, making them perfect for gatherings.
This particular design represents a modern take on Global Style, offering a sleek, contemporary twist on Bohemian aesthetics. You can delve deeper into the world of global styles by exploring my other blog articles featuring purple, blue, green, red, and black-and-white palettes.
Purple, residing between red and blue on the color wheel, embodies qualities of both neighbors. Like blue, it exudes calm and relaxation, reminiscent of wildflowers found in nature. At the same time, it can ignite passion and energy akin to red. Darker shades often evoke a sense of wisdom.
Purple carries rich symbolism, from status and royalty to spirituality and creativity. Its versatility allows it to resonate with a broad audience, making it a complex and intriguing color.
I’ve designed this space, setting the stage for art to infuse its unique energy. As each artist contributes their perspective through their work, we’ll witness how the room’s energy evolves and transforms
How the Artist Affects the Energy of the Room
I selected art from two of my favorite artists, Brooke Harker and Joan Marie of Joan Marie Art, and picked a piece from their websites that I thought worked with the colors and scale of my design. I also designed some of my own fractal art to go in the room.
Let’s see how the art changes the feeling of the room for you, the viewer, and how it relates to the energy and meaning the artist was inspired by when they created it.
Feeling the energy of visual images is the
language of the subconscious mind.

“Buzz and Flow” by Brooke Harker
The painting “Buzz and Flow” by Brooke Harker, is a 66 x 45 ink, oil & acrylic on canvas. Brooke painted this image of Hong Kong.
“Buzz and Flow” by Brooke Harker
I am a historian of the ordinary.” Brooke Harker.
Brooke says, “This is one of my favorite paintings I ever created. I selected the magenta color as it reminded me of the energy of a friend who celebrated life vividly. I put elements in the piece that fascinated me such as a single woman walking in stride or a taxi”.

When I am creating the painting I am in them and they seem larger than life. They always feel so small comparatively when they are done and on a canvas.
“Buzz and Flow” by artist Brooke Harker in and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
I selected this piece for the room because of the high energy and the color, not knowing the meaning behind it from Brooke’s perspective,
As soon as I put it in this room, I felt it added a sense of vibrant, high energy that you might feel on the streets of a large bustling city where all the people brought the energy of their lives as they walked by.
Yet, the purple walls seemed to contain it with a sense of calmness. As if life can seem chaotic and wild all around us, but if we just step back, it is all small stuff in the big picture of things.
I asked Brooke how she felt about the energy of her painting in this room. She said it evoked a sense of curiosity.
How does it make you feel?
Brooke Harker
Brooke Harker is a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, California. Her lively paintings of cities and coastal scenes are characterized by energetic brushstrokes in ink and thick oil paint applied with palette knives. These vibrant depictions of daily life capture a sense of motion and highlight moments of synchronicity. Brooke calls herself a ” historian of the ordinary.” Learn more about Brooke and see her work on her website.
“OoGenesis” by Joan Marie Art
I love the colors in this painting and selected it for the room because the colors worked with purple and it seemed so vibrant and joyful.
In my previous career, I was a wildlife biologist, and it reminded me of a super colorful version of a cell getting ready to divide and create new life. It felt like joyful colorful energy about to explode with possibilities. It just glows with joyous energy on the wall.
“Oogenesis” by Joan Marie Art
When I asked Joan about the story behind the painting, she said it is “the birth of a new world, the uniting of colors, all holding hands in unity.”
“Oogenesis”, was named by Joan Marie’s husband after she told him the meaning behind the painting.
“Oogenesis” by Joan Marie Art and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
I asked Joan how she felt about the energy of her painting in this room. She said ” it takes me to a peaceful mystical world of well-being and magical possibilities. Just beautiful!”
“Oogenesis” by Joan Marie Art and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
It takes me to a peaceful mystical world of well-being and magical possibilities. Just beautiful!”. Joan Marie Art.
How about you, how do you feel when you see Joan Marie’s art in this room?
Joan Marie of Joan Marie Art
Joan’s art is filled with radiant colors and explosive energy in which she transforms energy in a magical mix of techniques. She embeds positive subliminal messages into the intricate details of her work. She believes we have the opportunity to choose what we create, whether choosing a piece of art or our lives. Learn more about Joan Marie and Joan Marie Art.
“A Passion for Purple” by Mary Ann Benoit
I created a set of three fractal art pieces specifically for this room, which I call “A Passion for Purple”.
Fractal art is digital art I create on my computer. I love the spiral and curved shapes, fine textures, and vibrant colors. Creating fractal art is like traveling through a kaleidoscope that has no beginning or end. When traveling, you find a place you want to stop and stay awhile. The art I create is that place.
“A Passion for Purple” Fractal Art by Mary Ann Benoit “A Passion for Purple 2” Fractal Art by Mary Ann Benoit “A Passion for Purple 3” Fractal Art by Mary Ann Benoit
I wanted my art to reflect the complexity of purple so that it was calm, yet vibrant, mysterious, spiritual, and elegant at the same time.
I love the way the dark rich purple colors really ground the room, yet the light purple glows with serene energy. It feels very calming, yet vibrant and mysterious as well, as if it has the secret to some ancient wisdom.

What is Your Sense of This Room
Now you know the energy that was behind the room design, the color purple, the different art and even how some of us felt about the room with the different art pieces.
My guess is that you had your own unique ideas about the energy you experienced in the room because you brought your unique perspective.
That is the beauty of art and design. There are so many possibilities!
If you are working with a designer, be sure to collaborate closely when you select your art and consider the energy of the room.

Edesign and fractal art home decor by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design
Birds provide endless inspiration for creating beautiful designs with the intricate patterns, colors, and textures of their feathers!
Flat Lay #1- The Forest
In my article Birds of a Feather- What Birds Can Teach Us About Designing the Perfect Room, I shared a design for the first flat lay, inspired by realistic photo art of Pintail duck and eagle feathers. I designed a room with a calm and earthy feeling that reminds me of being in the forest using the feather art and colors of nature.

Flat Lay #2- Bohemian Meets Hollywood Glam
The second flat lay, evoked a much more glamorous style and feeling, like a cross between Modern Global Style and Hollywood Glam. I developed several ideas capturing the drama and glamour with different color walls.

Flat Lay #3- A Time for Whimsy- Let’s Fly
The third flat lay to me evoked a sense of whimsy and playfulness, filled with color and the sense that you can take flight and soar to any place you want to go.
As in Flat Lay #2, the feathers are stylized rather than realistic, and more colorful and playful than the gold and black feathers. Even though it has a sense of fun and whimsy, it also feels calm and relaxing with the blues and greens.
I designed two living rooms. One uses wallpaper and is more light and airy yet has texture. The deep blue wall adds more drama with the darker, rich blue.
Which is your favorite?
Bird Feathers Are a Great Source of Inspiration!
As you can see, you can use natural elements like bird feathers to inspire earthy, glamorous, and dramatic, or whimsical and playful designs!
Bird feathers can inspire many design styles and are fun to work with. There is a huge amount of variety.
Did you know you can often identify a bird just by the feathers? That is how unique they are. Mother Nature provides endless inspiration. Try your own flat lay and see what it inspires.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows-Aligned Energy Art- “Attachments”
https://youtu.be/XWjoUW9XyWA
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows ! I am Mary Ann Benoit and am with you tonight from Seward Alaska! So excited to be with you tonight to share some of my new Aligned Energy Art,, called “Attachments”, and three fractal art pieces I would like to share.
Be sure to check out all the other artists from around the world, having art shows in their Facebook and social media feeds at 6-9 pm in their time zones. Follow Saturday Night Live Art Shows on Facebook by searching #snlartshows.
Introducing “Attachments” Aligned Energy Art
Budda said “the root of suffering is attachment”.
I learned from my teacher Jim Fortin, that the biggest cause of suffering in our lives comes from our attachments, or expectations of the way we think things should be. When we don’t get what we want or how we want it, we are unhappy. Maybe we can release attachment to the idea of how things should be and just allow them to be what they are.
If they are not how we want or expect, maybe that is a good thing that is opening the door for something more wonderful to come into our lives.
This art was inspired by the energy of attachment in our lives and all the chords that bind us to the outcomes we expect and want.
As you can see, there are chords of attachment between every part of the design, creating one interconnected whole.
“Attachments” fractal art by Mary Ann Benoit of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design
Although the greens and blues are colors of nature and often are calming and relaxing colors, these pieces have a sense of high energy because of all the endless linkages.
As I usually do, I created 2 more pieces to go with it, so you can see the movement between pieces and use three together over a sofa t create a focal point in a room.
“Attachments 2” fractal art by Mary Ann Benoit of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design “Attachments 3” fractal art by Mary Ann Benoit of Northern Lights Home Staging and Design
How can you use Aligned Energy Art in your space?
If the message of “Attachments”, or future concepts I plan to create resonate with you, then adding art that is meaningful as well as beautiful is a great way to create your perfect space and remind yourself of what is important in your life each day when you see it.
Art like “Attachments” can be added to your living room, meditation, or workout area or wherever your intuition guides you to put it.
Because this art is digital, it can also be put on a variety of home decor products such as pillows, bedding, serving trays, coffee mugs, notebooks, and more. So you could think about “Attachments” as you sip your morning coffee out of a “Attachments” coffee mug while writing things you want to release your “Attachments” journal, for example, drinking out of your travel cup on the way to work or doing yoga on a “Attachments” mat.
Aligned Energy Art is another layer of meaning beyond the visual beauty in creating your perfect space that is aligned with who you want to be.
An Example
I created this Edesign, or virtual design as an example of how you could create a space using this art and express the energy of “Attachments” in your space. Note the “Attachments” fractal art on the framed canvases on the wall, the serving tray on the coffee table, the pillow on one of the chairs, and the place settings on the table.
Your selection of art determines the energy you want to surround yourself with.
How do you want to feel?
What is Fractal Art?
Fractal art is digital art I create on my computer. I love creating fractal art because it allows me to work with brilliant colors, interesting textures, and incredible detail. of the process. See examples at my store on Society 6 or Pixels.com. I also create mosaics of AI art and fractal art. See some examples in the video below.

Birds provide endless inspiration for creating beautiful designs with the intricate patterns, colors, and textures of their feathers!
In my article Birds of a Feather- What Birds Can Teach Us About Designing the Perfect Room, I shared some ideas for one of those flat lays inspired by realistic photo art of Pintail duck and eagle feathers. I designed a room with a calm and earthy feeling that reminds me of being in the forest using the feather art and colors of nature.

This second flat lay, to me, evoked a much more glamorous style and feeling, like a cross between Modern Global Style and Hollywood Glam.
Flat lay and Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
I am not sure what bird the feathers in the photo came from, but the art is less realistic and more stylized. The black and gold color combination felt very luxurious, and like a great place to add a variety of metallic finishes.
The natural theme of bird feathers still evoked a sense of nature, inviting wood, stone, and natural materials such as velvet, leather, and cotton. I selected green, which is a wonderful color of nature, for the fabrics and added plants.
I decided to create a living room, that was dark and moody, with black or deep chocolate walls, and lots of different gold-tone metals. Dramatic lighting enhances the art and brings out the shine of the various brass and gold-toned lights and accessories.
Instead of the photo in the flat lay, I found several other art prints of feathers in black and gold that I used as inspiration.
I could see this combination in a living room, master bedroom, master bathroom, or powder room. How about you?
I decided to try a living room. A flat lay can first evolve into a drawing or floor plan to get a feel for how the room will work spatially.
Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.
To get the feeling of drama and glamour, I decided to try the idea of a black wall. I love it! It beautifully highlights the feather art and sets off the beautiful greens in the furniture. Of course, lighting, strategically placed and lots of it, is important when using black.

For variety, I tried a textured light-colored wallpaper similar in color to the feathers to give the room a more light and airy feeling. I think I like the black better for a glamorous feeling.

And here is it in a shade of off-white. While still pretty, I like the black walls best, and the feeling of dimension the textured wallpaper gives over the white walls. How about you?
The moral of this flat lay tale is that you can use natural elements like bird feathers to inspire glamorous, dramatic, modern, and sleek designs while still bringing the outdoors in. And, don’t be scared to use black!
Bird feathers can inspire many design styles. Look for my next article on the design for my third flat lay inspired by bird feathers.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned- Turkish Style
Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows. “Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned” is The New Design Frontier.
This is about creating global style interiors with my Aligned Design philosphy. It captivates Global Design’s worldly charm with Aligned Design’s holistic approach to create external beauty and internal harmony.
In this show I show you how I created an Edesign that is aesthetically pleasing and soulfully enriching. In creating your perfect space, energy is the foundation of everything.
The energy of Turkish style is deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage, reflecting it’s position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Turkish interiors harmonize Byzantine, Ottoman, Persian, and Central Asian influences, giving it a wonderful exotic feeling. Turkish style is known for it;s beautiful rugs, lighting, and symbolism including tulips, the evil eye, and fish.
My art captures that energy and those symbols.
My designs are collages of AI and layers of fractal energy art, reflecting Turkish style and supportive energy messages. See my art on the wall and chairs of my Edesign. This art is infused with layers to inspire you to live on the path with heart, and to release attachments to what you do not need. Some of the art is hard to see but it is there, with subliminal messages. Even if you don’t see it, your brain does.
Raise the vibe in your space today. Great design starts with energy. Surround yourself with art that reminds you what is important and enhances the energy of your space and your potential. When your space is better, you are better. When you are better, the world is better. The world needs you.
My unique Interior Design philosophy combines The ART of beauty The SCIENCE of color The ENERGY of well-being. Art + Science + Energy = Magic.

Globally Inspired and Soulfully Aligned is a New Design Frontier. I have created a collection of collages created with AI and fractal energy art that combine Global Design styles worldly charm with the energy, alignment and emotional nurturing of my Aligned Design’s holistic approach. It’s a marriage of external beauty and internal harmony, ensuring that your surroundings are not just aesthetically pleasing but also soulfully enriching.
Each piece has subliminal energy messages from layers of fractal art designed to uplift and support you. My Heart of Morocco collection includes four layers from my Path with Heart collection and also my Attachments of the Heart Design.
My Path with Heart series emphasizes “All paths lead to the same place in the end. The important thing is that you pick a path with heart, do what you love, and enjoy the journey.” If you look closely, you will see numerous hearts from this collection throughout the design.
Each piece is also overlayed with my “Attachments of the Heart” design. The meaning of this piece is “Buddha said “the root of suffering is attachment”. The biggest cause of suffering in our lives comes from our attachments, or expectations of the way we think things should be.When we don’t get what we want or how we want it, we are unhappy. Attachments of the heart to our lovers, family, pets, and friends are often the hardest attachments to release. The key is to love, but not be attached to the outcome. Let it be what it is”.
While you may not see this large heart because of the transparancy of the design, and you may not notice all the small hearts, the subliminal message still comes through. The message is to live the path with heart without being attached to things for maximum well-being.
What is Turkish Style?
Turkish style is warm and inviting, earthy and exotic. There is an abundance of warm earth tones with pops of beautiful color. lots of patterns and texture and there is a slightly more rustic feel. It is simple, soft and relaxing.
The energy of Turkish style interior design is deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage, reflecting the country’s position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, bridging diverse civilizations over the millennia.
