Learn More About How Energy Art Can Change Your Life

Fractal art, as highlighted in the podcast, exemplifies one facet of energy art. Energy art is artwork created with the intention of expressing, conveying, or harnessing specific energies or emotions. It often aims to evoke or enhance particular feelings, moods, or states of being in those who experience the art

Energy art serves multiple purposes:

1. It created a beautiful portrait of your authentic self when you are shining the light of who you truly are.
2. It lays the cornerstone for the interior design of your room or home.
3. It embellishes your design with complementary home decor, imparting that perfect finishing touch.

The video below shows energy art I have created using AI and fractal art in combination or fractal art alone, which create the foundation for Interior Designs highlighting different energy concepts.

Welcome to Saturday Night Live Art Shows! I am Mary Ann Benoit and am with you tonight from Seward Alaska! I am excited to share some new energy art portraits I created for artist Sheryl Benjy, and give you a glimpse into how these pieces of art are created that show your energy when you “Shine Your Light”. These are sacred geometry designs I create using fractal art to express your unique energy signature that we can feel but not see. This inspiration comes from my intuition and reading your energy from photos, words you give me of how you and others would describe you and your favorite colors.

Thanks to Saturday Night Live Art Shows creator, artist Brooke Harker and her co-hosts Joan Marie of Joan Marie Art, Sheryl Benjy, subject of this show, and Nichole McDaniel for making this possible.

Be sure to check out all the other artists from around the world,   having art shows on 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.

When You Shine Your Light, What Does Your Energy Look Like?

When You Shine Your Light, What Does Your Energy Look Like?

Everything is made of energy, as  Einstein’s famous equation.  E=mc2 tells us.

Everything vibrates energy, and all the energies don’t just ignore each other, they dance together at one big party.  Each interaction causes something to happen.

Ultimately, it means that  energy and matter are the same, and they just vibrate at different rates.  Things that vibrate slowly, look solid, and things that vibrate really fast, at or beyond the speed of light are light energy.

When you shine your light and let the true essence of who you are show, what does your energy look like? Is it a beautiful work of art?

Energy waves cancel each other when they are not in harmony, or create new waves, like children.  Sometimes, those interactions create something amazing, like super children, called fractals.

Those, fractals, when they meet in a way that they are in the “Golden Ratio” to each other, create magic! The Golden Ratio is sacred geometry that creates beauty and life!   Literally.

Sheryl Benjy Shining Her Light

Sheryl Benji shines her light with the creation of her beautiful art. She radiates a beautiful calm energy and her art is colorful and whimsical  . She creates beautiful paintings as well as Body Art for the Soul. this first piece, I called “Whimsical” expressed the energy I felt from her picture below and a lot of her “goddess” paintings as well as her Body Art for the Soul photos.

This second piece, which I called “The Painter”,  was inspired by Sheryl painting this beautiful abstract of flowers. The fractal art reminds me of what it might look like to capture the look of swirling all the paint around that was being used in the flower painting.

For the third piece, Sheryl sent me this photo. The colors and energy in this photo seemed very different from the others she provided.

While looking at her Facebook photos, however, I saw this photo with the red beret, taken by the same photographer. I was very drawn to its energy and my intuition led me to create the piece from this photo instead. I called it “Red Beret”.

This, interestingly, was the piece Sheryl liked best, and had a print made for a desk photo to remind herself of her own personal power.

I felt this piece captured the power I felt within. The colors, shapes and feeling I get from it makes me happy. It brings vibrant energy into my space. I just love it.  Sheryl Benji.

Are You Ready to Shine Your Light?

Fractal art is a form of Sacred geometry that expresses patterns of harmony through which nature draws and creates and can be used guide to one’s own life.

Fractal art is a reminder of how nature does things, a way to reconnect with the perfection of everything that is natural, in harmony and beautiful.

I will create a fractal art -sacred geometry energy portrait of you,  expressing the essence of your energy.

I use 3 or more inspiration photos you provide and ask you for three words you would use to describe yourself and also three words others would use to describe you. I also ask for your favorite colors.

I create three designs for you and upload them to my store on Society 6 where the digital image becomes available on a wide variety of products such as framed art, furniture, pillows, coffee mugs, cell-phone cases, stationary etc. You can purchase what you like to remind you to “shine your light”. If you would like an image with the inspiration photo on it as well, I can do that.

What is Fractal Art?
