Three Tips to Create Your Perfect Space With Fractal Art

Fractal art is a mesmerizing form of digital creativity, born from the intricate calculations of fractal objects. It gives life to both still and animated visuals, offering a world of abstract beauty that I love.

Fractal art, with its vivid palettes, intricate patterns, and flawless symmetry, possesses a certain magic.

In many of my designs, you’ll find spirals—an ever-present symbol with profound meanings. For more insights, you can explore my article ‘What Does Your Art Mean?

Spirals, deeply rooted in nature, often symbolize our connection to the divine and universal energy. They embody concepts like harmony, new beginnings, focus, journeys, direction, and progress. The spiral’s graceful progression signifies the path to elevated consciousness.

Imagine the sheer beauty and positive energy these spirals can infuse into your space.”


Three Tips to Create Your Perfect Space With Fractal Art
Edesign and Fractal Art by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design.

Creating fractal art is like journeying through a boundless kaleidoscope. I see mesmerizing vistas, and pause where I like to revel in their beauty. I can play, manipulating color, texture, light, and hue, and then can capture these moments into unique designs. However, revisiting these exact moments is like chasing a singular raindrop in a vast sea; utterly elusive. Each creation, therefore, is truly one-of-a-kind.

Join me on a voyage through this digital ‘kaleidoscope’ in the video below.”

Deciding where to stop is our first decision, and as you can see, the possibilities are endless. Once there,  we can adjust colors, texture, lightness and more.

Let’s change the colors.

Now, let’s play with light, and then texture.

When we like the end result, we can freeze the image and then create art, home decor, fashions and more, as you can see in two of my online stores on Society6 and Vida.

So what can you do with it? Use it as a focal point or as an accent to create your perfect space…you know, the place that gives you joy every time you walk in:)

Creating Your Perfect Space with Fractal Art

Before integrating fractal art into your space, consider these three essential tips:

  1. Role of the Art: Decide if your fractal art will be the centerpiece or a complementary element. As a centerpiece, its colors, patterns, and energy should influence the room’s overall design. When playing a secondary role, its size, hue, and placement should harmonize with existing decor.
  2. Color Coordination: Fractal art spans a spectrum from vivid, contrasting hues to monochromatic tones. Choose colors that not only resonate with you but also enhance your existing decor.
  3. Shape Selection: While fractal art commonly employs spirals, it offers a vast array of patterns. Consider how you feel about different shapes—be it intricate, flowing, abstract, or streamlined designs. Do you prefer an artwork with beautiful detail that unveils its story upon closer inspection or one that shows its magic from afar?

Remember, the art’s position, colors, and forms significantly influence the room’s ambiance and your experience within it.

Let the Art be the Heart of Your Home

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.

Art’s energy in your space stems from three main elements:

  1. The room’s designer, be it a professional interior designer or yourself, shapes the ambiance, setting the stage for the art.
  2. The artist pours their emotions and interpretations into the artwork, giving it its unique vibrancy.
  3. 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 do you want to feel?

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”.


Buzz and Flow by Brooke Harker. Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design

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 Brooke Harker. Edesign by Northern Lights Home Staging and Design
“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
“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

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!”

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.

“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.

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.

Get the Look- Global Style- Bohemian #2

Dive into my Bohemian-style Edesign enriched with my energy art. Discover layers of fractal art intricately woven into the design, beckoning you towards a heart-centered path. Let the Boho vibes resonate with your true essence and inspire authentic living.

Bohemian Style

The Bohemian style is a radiant dance of earthy hues, metals, and vibrant jewel tones. It’s grounded in neutrals like deep browns and serene grays, then sprinkled with vivacious purples, burning oranges, and brilliant blues.

 

Those who gravitate towards Bohemian aesthetics are free spirits, unburdened by conventions and always guided by their heart!

Are you captivated by vintage furniture, unique light fixtures, and textiles that tell tales of distant lands? Do you find joy in curating treasures from flea markets, thrift shops, and your travels?

 

You probably have a penchant for blending luxurious fabrics and glimmering accessories with cherished antiques and eclectic pieces. In the Bohemian realm, if it sparks joy, it has a place. After all, abundance is the essence!

Get the Look- Global Style- Bohemian #2

The Bohemian style is the epitome of global design, weaving tales of your adventures and experiences into the fabric of your space. It’s a tapestry of vivid colors, intricate patterns, and diverse textures that echo the arts, crafts, and spirit of different cultures.

Every item narrates a unique story, sparking conversations and memories. 

 

There’s a free-spirited fluidity in how treasures are showcased, unbound by geographical or thematic constraints. Antiques seamlessly blend with contemporary pieces, while elements from nature—like animal horns, verdant plants, or raw minerals—infuse authenticity and charisma.

 

Though global design champions eclecticism, you might find yourself particularly captivated by the hues and artifacts of specific regions, letting them take center stage in your space.

Elements of Bohemian Style

Bohemian style, often referred to as “boho,” is characterized by its eclectic, free-spirited nature. Rooted in artistic expression and unconventional design, boho draws inspiration from different cultures, eras, and personal narratives. Here are some defining elements of Bohemian style:

 

  1. Layered Textiles: Rich, textured fabrics like velvet, silk, suede, and fur are layered upon each other. Think Moroccan rugs, macramé hangings, and chunky knit throws.

  2. Eclectic Patterns and Colors: Boho doesn’t shy away from bold, vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Expect paisleys, tribal prints, florals, and other global-inspired motifs.

  3. Natural Materials: Incorporate wooden furnishings, wicker, bamboo, and other organic materials for a grounded feel.

  4. Plenty of Greenery: Plants, whether potted or hanging, play a crucial role in boho spaces. They introduce a fresh, earthy vibe and often become central features.

  5. Vintage and Handmade Items: From flea markets to artisanal craft fairs, boho decor often includes vintage, handmade, or one-of-a-kind pieces, lending the space unique character and charm.

  6. Worldly Decor: Artifacts and textiles from travels or different cultures, like Indian tapestries, African baskets, or Tibetan thangkas, give the space a global ambiance.

  7. Low-level Seating: Think floor cushions, poufs, low sofas, and tatami mats, promoting a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

  8. Unconventional Display: Art and items aren’t just hung on walls. They might be layered, draped, or even placed on the floor. The aim is to create an aesthetically pleasing sense of ‘organized chaos’.

  9. A Mix of Styles: Boho often blends elements from various design philosophies—be it mid-century modern, industrial, or even a touch of glamour—into one cohesive look.

  10. Personal Touches: Bohemian style is deeply personal. It’s not unusual to find family photos, cherished trinkets, or DIY items that hold sentimental value.

The essence of boho is not strictly adhering to a set formula but embracing the unexpected, celebrating individuality, and letting one’s personality shine through the decor. It’s about creating a space that feels like a true reflection of the self and one’s journey.

Get the Look- Global Style- Bohemian #2

Colors of Bohemian Style

Bohemian style is known for its rich and vibrant use of color, drawing inspiration from various cultures and natural elements. While there’s no strict palette that defines boho style, here are some colors commonly associated with it:

  1. Earth Tones: Deep browns, greens, and grays often serve as base colors, grounding the space and providing a canvas for brighter tones.

  2. Jewel Tones: Saturated purples, fiery oranges, electric blues, and deep magentas are classic boho choices. These rich hues evoke a sense of worldliness and artistic flair.

  3. Warm Reds and Pinks: Think of Moroccan or Indian textiles, which often feature warm terracottas, corals, and pinks.

  4. Golden Yellows: From mustard to saffron, yellow shades bring warmth and brightness to bohemian spaces.

  5. Turquoise and Teal: These colors, reminiscent of gemstones and oceans, add depth and drama.

  6. Neutrals: Though boho is known for its color, neutral shades like beiges, creams, and off-whites play a crucial role in balancing out the vibrancy and providing moments of calm.

  7. Metallic Accents: While not a color per se, gold, bronze, and other metallics often find their way into boho designs, whether through accessories, trims, or decorative pieces.

  8. Natural Greens: Taking inspiration from nature and the emphasis on plants in boho design, various shades of green, from olive to emerald, are often incorporated.

 

IBohemian style is highly individualistic. While the above colors are commonly associated with boho, it’s more about mixing and matching what resonates personally with your own energy. 

 

This style is flexible, allowing for personal tastes and influences from different cultures to shine through. So, while these are guiding tones, there’s plenty of room for interpretation and personalization in boho color schemes.

The Energy of Bohemian Style

The energy of Bohemian style is a unique amalgamation of various attributes, emanating a vibe that is both relaxed and vibrant. Here’s a breakdown of the energy associated with Bohemian style:

  1. Free-Spirited: At its core, the Bohemian style embodies a sense of freedom and non-conformity. It’s about breaking the mold, rejecting traditional norms, and embracing an eclectic mix that reflects one’s unique personality and experiences.

  2. Creative Expression: Bohemian spaces are often filled with handmade items, crafts, and artifacts from around the world. These pieces tell stories, each item a reflection of artistic expression and individual creativity.

  3. Warmth and Comfort: With its use of layered textiles, plush cushions, and rugs, Bohemian style exudes warmth and coziness. It’s inviting, making one feel immediately at ease.

  4. Connection to Nature: Boho interiors often incorporate natural elements like plants, stones, and wooden items, reflecting a deep-rooted connection to the earth and nature.

  5. Worldly and Cultured: The style showcases an appreciation for different cultures, traditions, and crafts from around the world. The energy is one of inclusivity and global appreciation.

  6. Sensual and Tactile: With an emphasis on textures and materials, Bohemian style engages the senses. Whether it’s the feel of a soft fabric, the visual appeal of colorful patterns, or the aromatic presence of incense, the style appeals to our sensory experiences.

  7. Whimsical and Playful: The eclectic mix often results in unexpected and playful combinations, lending a whimsical energy to Bohemian spaces.

  8. Intimate and Personal: Above all, Bohemian style is deeply personal. It reflects the inhabitant’s journey, tastes, memories, and aspirations. It’s intimate, revealing stories and experiences through design elements.

In essence, the energy of Bohemian style is vibrant yet relaxed, worldly yet intimate, and always deeply personal and expressive. It’s a style that resonates with those who value individuality, creativity, and a connection to the world around them.

How to Get the Look

Want to get the look? Whether you’re diving deep into Boho style or just sprinkling some elements into your current decor, here are some tips.

  1. Jewel Tones: Add splashes of deep, vibrant colors through cushions, lamps, or artwork.
  2. Global Mix: Incorporate items from various countries, blending textures and patterns to evoke a sense of worldly charm.
  3. Velvety Touch: Introduce soft fabrics like velvet for an instant luxe feel.
  4. Metallic Hints: Blend in metals to provide that eclectic spark.
  5. Vintage Meets Modern: Pair your contemporary pieces with vintage finds for an authentic Boho mix.
  6. Treasures on Display: Showcase your personal journey – souvenirs, photos, and unique finds that narrate your story.
  7. Curate Thoughtfully: While Boho celebrates abundance, give each piece its moment. Create breathing space around standout items for a refined look, which I personally like and think of as elegant Bohemian.

 

Bohemian is all about expressing your authentic self. Let your space tell your unique story, mixing the old with the new, the near with the far, and the bold with the subtle.

Here are some of the energy art pieces I created for the Bohemian style design in this article you can use to get the look.

How is Bohemian Style Different?

Bohemian style, while rooted in global influences, has distinct characteristics that set it apart from other global styles. Here’s a breakdown to highlight the differences:

  1. Origin & Influence:

    • Bohemian: The name derives from the French word for ‘gypsy’, and originally referred to the nomadic, spirited lifestyle of the Bohemians. It’s less about a specific culture and more about a free-spirited and eclectic mix of elements.
    • Other Global Styles: Typically, other global styles, like Moroccan, Southwestern, or African, are more region-specific and derive elements directly from those regions’ cultures, histories, and landscapes.
  2. Design Philosophy:

    • Bohemian: Emphasizes individuality, freedom, and a disregard for conventions or trends. It’s all about personal expression and creating a space that feels right for the individual, often leading to a mix-and-match approach.
    • Other Global Styles: These often adhere to traditional designs, colors, and patterns from the specific region they originate from.
  3. Elements & Decor:

    • Bohemian: Known for its layering. There’s often a mix of vintage with modern, handmade with store-bought, and a blend of different textures and materials. It’s common to see plants, mismatched textiles, and a cluttered yet harmonious look.
    • Other Global Styles: While they might also incorporate mixed textiles and handmade items, they’re typically more cohesive in terms of the cultural motifs, colors, and materials they employ.
  4. Colors:

    • Bohemian: Typically vibrant and varied, with a rich mix of jewel tones, earthy colors, and metallics.
    • Other Global Styles: While they can also be vibrant, they often have a more defined and consistent palette, like the rich blues and whites in Greek Mediterranean style or the earthy tones of Southwestern style.
  5. Versatility:

    • Bohemian: Highly versatile and adaptive. Since it’s driven by individual choice, it can easily incorporate elements from various global styles.
    • Other Global Styles: While adaptable, they are often more defined and distinct, making them less fluid than Bohemian style.

In summary, while both Bohemian and other global styles are inspired by worldwide influences, Bohemian style is more eclectic, free-spirited, and individualistic, whereas other global styles tend to stay truer to their cultural origins.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

What is Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned?

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.

Get the Look- Global Style- Turkish #2

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.

Turkey has ancient roots. The colors and textures of the land has inspired much of the art, colors and culture. Turkish elements are often used in Bohemian inspired designs.

Turkish style showcases Byzantine and Ottoman architectural styles and modern and classical motifs. 

Byzantine architecture had lots of exotic, sensual domes and  mosaics, that are graceful and filled with light. It is ornate, vibrant and rich in detail, warm and sensual. It often blends soft whites with rich colors.

If you love feeding and entertaining guests, this might be the style for you, as this is very important in Turkish culture and reflected in their designs.

Turkish style is an example of global style Interior Design. Global Style Interior Design is all about telling the story of your life and adventures through your decor. Each piece has a story and becomes a conversation starter.  Treasures, old and new are displayed from various parts of the world and layered in a rich tapestry of color, texture, art and history.

Colors of Turkey

Here are some of the varied colors used in Turkish design.   

Get the Look- Global Style-Turkish
Photo by mostafa meraji on Unsplash
  1. Warm and Earthy Tones: Terra cotta, burnt orange, and deep browns, reminiscent of the country’s landscapes and architecture.
  2. Jewel Tones: Sapphire blues, emerald greens, and ruby reds, drawing inspiration from the vibrant bazaars and royal history.
  3. Mediterranean Blues: Aqua, turquoise, and teal, reflecting the hues of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas.
  4. Soft Neutrals: Creams, beiges, and soft grays often serve as base colors, providing balance to the vibrant hues.

Design Elements- The Art of Turkish Style

Here are some of the design elements Turkey is known for.

  1. Iznik Tiles: These are highly decorative ceramic tiles, with intricate designs often featuring tulips, roses, pomegranates, and hyacinths in bright blues, reds, and greens.

  2. Architectural Details: Arched doorways, domed ceilings, and detailed cornices reflect the influence of both Byzantine and Ottoman architectural styles.

  3. Textiles: Turkish design boasts a rich tradition of textiles, from thick kilims and dhurries to ornate silks and brocades. The patterns often include geometric shapes, stylized nature motifs, and medallions.

  4. Turkish Rugs: World-renowned for their quality and craftsmanship, they come in a vast array of patterns, colors, and styles.

  5. Ottoman-Style Seating: Low sofas or divans, often without legs, placed around a room’s perimeter, accompanied by low wooden tables and floor cushions.

  6. Lanterns: Turkish lanterns or “mosaic lamps” are often made of colored glass set in metal, casting warm, colored light.

  7. Copper and Brass: Hammered copper bowls, trays, and coffee pots (like the cezve used for Turkish coffee) are popular decor items.

  8. Carved Wood: Intricately carved wooden furniture and panels, sometimes inlaid with mother-of-pearl or metal, are common.

  9. Marble: Used extensively in architecture and interior elements, from floors to hammam (bath) interiors.

  10. Market-Inspired Decor: Items like colorful ceramic bowls, embroidered textiles, and ornate metalwork, reminiscent of the bustling bazaars of Turkey.

Incorporating Turkish design elements into a space brings with it a sense of timeless beauty and a rich tapestry of cultural influences, from the bustling streets of Istanbul to the serene beaches of its coastline. Each piece, pattern, and color tells a story of Turkey’s diverse heritage and tradition.

The Nazar Boncuk or evil eye, symbolizes the jealous and envious look of others, which can cause misfortunes to a person or his property. Turkish people believe that this amulet protects its holder from these types of bad energies by absorbing them.

In Turkey, the tulip symbolizes feminine beauty, perfection, paradise, the Turkish native homeland and collective cultural identity, and also has a spiritual dimension. 


In Turkish culture and interior design, the fish carries multiple layers of symbolism, much of which is deeply rooted in history, religion, and folklore.

 

The fish symbolizes protection against the evil eye, abundance, prosperity, and spiritual significance rooted in Islamic narratives. It also reflects a harmonious relationship with nature and Turkey’s rich artistic heritage, especially in ceramics and tiles.

The Energy of Turkish Style

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. Here’s an exploration of the energy and ambiance this style evokes:

 

  1. Cultural Fusion: The energy in Turkish interiors speaks of synthesis and harmony, amalgamating Byzantine, Ottoman, Persian, and Central Asian influences. This union of styles exudes an aura of both familiarity and exoticism.

  2. Warmth and Hospitality: Turkish culture values warmth and hospitality, and this sentiment is palpable in their interior design. Spaces are meant to be welcoming, with comfortable seating, inviting colors, and an emphasis on communal areas.

  3. Sensory Depth: Turkish design provides a multisensory experience. The textures, from plush rugs to intricate tiles, combined with the rich aromas of Turkish coffee and incense, create an atmosphere of sensory immersion.

  4. Historical Resonance: There’s an energy of timelessness in Turkish interiors, reminiscent of grand palaces, bustling bazaars, and serene hammams. Elements like Iznik tiles or Ottoman motifs connect spaces to a storied past.

  5. Mysticism and Spirituality: Turkey’s Sufi traditions and spiritual heritage bring a mystical energy to its interiors. Elements like ornate lanterns casting patterned shadows and the intricate geometric designs often have deeper spiritual meanings, promoting contemplation and introspection.

  6. Natural Connection: Many elements of Turkish design, from the colors to the materials, draw inspiration from nature — the seas, landscapes, and flora. This connection brings a grounded, earthy energy to Turkish interiors.

  7. Dynamic Vitality: Just as Turkey’s bazaars are lively and dynamic, Turkish interiors have a vivacity to them. Bold colors, varied patterns, and the play of light and shadow make spaces feel alive and vibrant.

  8. Balance and Harmony: Despite the rich patterns and bold colors, there’s a sense of balance in Turkish design. This harmony is achieved through thoughtful arrangement, symmetry, and the strategic use of neutrals and open spaces.

 

In essence, the energy of Turkish style interior design is a harmonious blend of history, culture, and sensory richness. It evokes feelings of warmth, connection, and timeless beauty, resonating with both the heart and the senses.

Here is an Edesign I created to express the art, science and energy of Turkish style that is based on energy art I created. I used the colors of Turkey, and the symbols of the tulip, fish and evil eye.

Energy of Turkish Style Design

How is Turkish Style different from other global styles? 

Turkish interior design, deeply rooted in the country’s rich history and diverse culture, embodies an energy that’s both vibrant and tranquil. This design aesthetic, influenced by Ottoman palaces, nomadic traditions, and cross-continental exchanges, carries an energy that can be described in the following ways:

  1. Historical Resonance: The energy evokes a sense of history, drawing from centuries of art, architecture, and craftsmanship. Spaces often feel like they’re telling stories of ancient times, of sultans and their courts, and of the vast empires that once were.

  2. Cultural Fusion: Turkey’s position as a bridge between Europe and Asia means its style is a blend of East and West. This convergence creates an eclectic energy, combining the mystique of the Orient with the sophistication of European design.

  3. Warmth and Hospitality: Traditional Turkish homes are designed with hospitality in mind. This welcoming energy is palpable, with cozy seating arrangements, plush textiles, and an overall ambiance that invites relaxation and connection.

  4. Sensory Stimulation: The vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and diverse textures typical in Turkish design evoke a dynamic and stimulating energy. This is reminiscent of bustling bazaars filled with colorful textiles, spices, and lanterns.

  5. Spiritual Tranquility: Islamic art and design heavily influence Turkish interiors. The absence of human and animal figures in favor of geometric patterns and arabesques, as seen in tiles, carpets, and architecture, imparts a meditative and spiritual energy to the spaces.

  6. Nature-inspired Harmony: Whether it’s the blue and white evoking the Aegean sea and sky or the earthy tones of Anatolian landscapes, there’s an inherent natural balance in Turkish design that brings a harmonious energy to interiors.

  7. Craftsmanship Pride: The energy of handcrafted artisanship—be it in woven carpets, hand-painted ceramics, or intricate woodwork—adds authenticity and a touch of human connection to Turkish interiors.

In essence, the energy of Turkish interior design is a harmonious blend of history, cultural intersection, warmth, spiritual depth, and artisanal pride. It invites those within the space to both celebrate its vibrant character and find moments of reflective tranquility.

Wearable Art- Celebrate the Masterpiece you Are!

When you see art that you love for your house, do you ever wish you could find that same design in a beautiful scarf, shawl, jewelry or a top? Or maybe a tie for your favorite guy? I know I do! Wearable art! Why not, you are a work of art yourself. Celebrate that! 

I have several artist studios offering my energy art on a variety of different products. Two of these, allow me to create beautiful wearable art, Vida and Le Galeriste. Both offer small selections of beautiful home decor as well.

What is so Great About Wearable Art?

Wearable art with an energy message offers a unique and powerful combination of aesthetic and spiritual elements, making it special for several reasons:

  1. Personal Expression: Wearable art allows individuals to express their unique style and personality, often in a more creative and personalized way than mass-produced fashion.

  2. Energy and Intention: When artists infuse their creations with energy messages, symbols, or intentions, the wearer can benefit from the positive vibes and meaning associated with the art.

  3. Spiritual Connection: Wearable art often draws from spiritual or symbolic sources, fostering a sense of connection to deeper meanings or belief systems.

  4. Conversation Starter: These pieces can be excellent conversation starters, allowing wearers to share the significance and stories behind their art.

  5. Empowerment: Some wearable art is designed to empower the wearer, reminding them of their inner strength, purpose, or intentions.

  6. One-of-a-Kind: Many wearable art pieces are unique or limited edition, giving the wearer a sense of exclusivity and individuality.

  7. Supporting Artists: Purchasing wearable art supports independent artists and creators, fostering a more sustainable and ethical approach to fashion.

  8. Positive Impact: The energy messages in wearable art can have a positive impact on the wearer’s mindset and well-being, serving as daily reminders of positivity and intention.

  9. Versatility: Wearable art can be incorporated into various outfits and occasions, making it versatile and suitable for daily wear or special events.

  10. Artistic Appreciation: It allows people to appreciate art not just as something to hang on walls but as something to carry with them, blurring the line between art and life.

 

In summary, wearable art with an energy message combines artistic expression with personal meaning, allowing individuals to wear their beliefs, intentions, and positive energies as a form of self-expression and empowerment.”

Jewelry

 As a jewelry artist as well as a designer, I had always wondered how my fractal art would look on jewelry but was never sure how to create it. I was thrilled to see they could create jewelry and really love the round pendants and rings in particular. The necklaces come in other shapes as well and on metal or bamboo.

What Does Your Art Mean? The Power of the Spiral

Art possesses a transformative power. Consider embracing symbols like the spiral, which energetically align with you. When curating art for your space, reflect on its significance. Why is it your choice? Beyond its hues, forms, and designs, does it resonate with a memory, emotion, journey, or a cherished individual? Dive deeper than aesthetics; connect with its essence and the personal narrative it brings into your space.

As an artist who creates the art for your space, the meaning behind what I create is important to me. I usually create abstract art that is not about a specific person, place or event but is more about the colors, shapes and feeling that it evokes. Some shapes are more meaningful than others and tend to draw you into creating more and more with the same shape. I find that much of my work revolves around spirals.

Spirals are prevalent in nature, in a beautiful sea shell, the unfolding of a new fern, the shape of a pine cones or the petals of a flower.

Spirals are meaningful cultural and religious symbols. They often symbolize connection to God and universal energy, and can represent harmony, beginnings, focus, a journey, direction, and progress. The spiral progression is symbolic of the route to a higher level of consciousness.

In some Native American cultures, the spiral is a sacred symbol of birth, rebirth and personal power, a metaphor for personal vision and enlightenment. They honor the grouse as a symbol of the sacred spiral, because the grouse does a spiral dance.

It can represent growth and evolution, eternity and continuity and is one of the most common symbols found among petroglyphs created by ancient or primitive peoples.

The whirling dervishes of some Sufi orders are masters of the spiral dance or whirling which they use to transcend to higher states of awareness and connect to God.

Spirals are important in great design, from the Mona Lisa to the Pyramids. The spiral is an example of the Golden Ratio which is a mathematical ratio. When used in a design, it fosters organic and natural-looking compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The ratio is even used to create music masterpieces.

Even the Milky Way, the galaxy that includes Earth and our solar system – is an example of a spiral galaxy. We live in one big, beautiful spiral.

That’s one powerful shape.

In summary, the spiral is a symbol that has been used in art across cultures and epochs. Its meaning can vary based on context, culture, and the artist’s intention.

  1. Life Cycle & Growth: Spirals often represent life cycles, growth, and evolution. They can symbolize the journey of life from birth to death or the natural progression and transformation of life.
  2. Connection to the Universe: In many ancient cultures, spirals symbolize the cosmos or a spiritual journey. They can represent the vastness of the universe or the interconnectedness of all life.
  3. Eternal Life: Due to its never-ending pattern, the spiral can symbolize eternity and immortality.
  4. Change & Development: Spirals can represent the idea of expansion, change, and development. It can be about personal growth or the evolution of a concept or idea.
  5. Feminine Energy: In certain contexts, the spiral is symbolic of the womb and fertility, representing feminine energy and birth.
  6. Natural Phenomena: The spiral is often seen in nature, such as in the patterns of shells, galaxies, or the way water whirls. As such, artists might use it to represent nature, mathematics, or the golden ratio.
  7. Journey & Progression: Spirals can also symbolize a journey, be it a spiritual, personal, or physical one. It can denote progression, taking a path, and continuously moving forward.
  8. Mysticism & Rituals: Spirals have been used in various rituals and religious symbols. They can indicate deeper knowledge, mysticism, or a connection to the divine.

In art, the meaning of the spiral can be personal to the artist and the energy they have infused into it, or the viewer.

When viewing spiral art, consider the context in which it was created to fully understand its intended significance.

Art with Power

“The Spiral” Energy Art

As an energy artist creating spirals, my intention is that the spiral is a symbol of personal transformation for you. Each piece inspires and uplifts you to be in alignment with who you truly are.

Everything is Energy. The spiral represents the energy of evolution, life, consciousness, and creation. Since ancient times it has been a symbol of growth and transformation. The spiral in your space is a reminder and invitation to shed your old skin and become something new.

This “Spiral”series is dedicated to Jim Fortin, who inspires us to transform and be our best selves. See my Saturday Night Live Art Show on this series.

“Infinity” Spiral Energy Art

My “Infinity” collection is a reminder that everything is energy including every object in your home, and the people, animals, plants, furniture, etc. Is the energy harmonious like an orchestra playing together or chaotic like an orchestra tuning up? A home that feels great has harmonious energy. Your art plays a big part in that. How is your energy evolving and what is it creating?

See my Saturday Night Live Art Show highlighting my “Infinity” series.

“Yin/Yang” Spiral Energy Art

This series inspires balance. Yin is female energy, and Yang is male energy. We all have, and need both, to get things done. Are you an over-doer of all the things? Try focusing less on masculine doing and more on feminine receiving. Yin receives ideas and inspiration. Yang puts the ideas into action. Yin receives the rewards of your actions. Yang takes the action and celebrates. Balance is the key to happiness. As above, so below. As within, so without. See my Yin/Yang collection here.  See my Saturday Night Live Art Show on this series below.

“Phoenix Rising” Spiral Energy Art

Step into the fire, burn away all your hurts and fears that define who you and rise from the ashes of all that does not serve you. This is part of my Fire Element collection. In Chinese healing arts, the fire element represents transformation, divinity, power, and passion. It can also represent destruction. The fire phase is a state of peak power and manifesting. Here you are in the maximum state of doing and activity. See my “Phoenix Rising” collection of spiral art here.  See my Saturday Night Live Art Show on this collection.

Deep purple embodies various energetic connotations:

  1. Spirituality: Represents divine connection and higher consciousness.
  2. Transformation: Signifies profound change and perspective shift.
  3. Mysticism: Linked with magic and deeper mysteries.
  4. Royalty: Historically associated with nobility and wealth.

The Magic of Fractal Art

The first time I saw Fractal Art, I discovered it accidentally on Pinterest. I stopped in my tracks and was captivated with the brilliant colors, intricate designs and perfect symmetry. I searched for more and became more fascinated. I wanted to know how it was created.  Being an artist myself, I am always on the lookout for new art forms that inspire me!

 

I was surprised to find out that Fractal art is a form of computer or digital art developed in the 1980’s. It is algorithmic art created by calculating fractal objects which create still and moving images.  In other words, it is abstract art created by math.

 

 What? Doing math and art at the same time is not my idea of a good time, but I still wondered if there was a way to learn to make it without making my brain hurt!

 

I found there are a variety of computer programs out there that allow you to experiment with creating fractal art so started playing around. It takes a little bit of learning and experimenting, but this is what I found.

 

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 a while. While there,  you can manipulate the color, texture, light, shine, spectrum, hue and other elements around you until you have created the perfect place, and then you save it as an image. Sometimes I go a little too far playing with the elements and I ruin what I have made but can not go back. So I feel lucky when I can capture the perfect image. It is impossible to ever find that place again if I did want to replicate it…it would be like finding a single drop of water within the ocean. That is why each piece is one of a kind.

 

Here is an example of what I mean. Let’s go on a little journey together through the “kaleidoscope”.

 

Let’s say we found a good place to stop and stay awhile and want to play with some colors. Below I am modifying the spectrum and hues.

https://northernlightsstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IXBK3704.movhttps://northernlightsstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/TODQ7752.mov

OK, now let’s play with some textures.

 

Working with fractal art is a little like meditation and color therapy mixed together. As a person that  loves color, I am in my happy place!

So what can you do with your fractal art when you are done?  See my fractal art collection, Fractal Art- Sacred Geometry in Motion, and a wide variety of wall art and home decor that can be made from it.

Improving Your Health and Well-Being with Energy Art and Interior Design

What one thing do you wish you had more of in life? Most people will probably pick one of the following; wealth, health. love or spirituality. What is it for you?

Is Health the Top Thing You Want More of in Life?

There are five main aspects of personal health: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual.  Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and proper sleep can enhance physical health, while mindfulness, self-care practices, therapy, and social connections can support mental well-being.

Interior design with energy art as a foundation can support personal alignment with who you truly are and inspire, support and attract these things into your life.

My energy art is a unique blend of fractal and AI-enhanced designs, and serves as the bedrock of my Aligned Design (interior design) approach. It not only makes your space more beautiful and serves as a foundation for your design and color scheme — it channels and magnifies personal alignment, guiding you to your authentic self. By embedding this art in your surroundings, you naturally enhance attracting health, as well as wealth, love, and spiritual enrichment.

Improving Your Health and Well-Being with Energy Art and Interior Design

Some Causes of Health Issues

Are You “At Ease” with Yourself?

Often health issues arise when we are not at ease with who we are,  or the results that mirror this in our lives, and “disease” follows. This can come from:

  1. Chronic Stress: Long-term stress can lead to serious illnesses.
  2. Negative Emotions: Holding onto negative feelings can weaken the immune system.
  3. Lack of Self-Care: Not taking care of yourself properly can cause health problems.
  4. Unhealthy Relationships: Bad relationships or feeling alone can lead to mental health issues.
  5. Unfulfilled Life: Living an unauthentic life can cause chronic stress and health problems.

Improving Your Health and Well-Being with Energy Art and Interior Design

Resources for Positive Change

Change involves reflection, effort, and honesty. Three resources I have used in my own life effectively are:

  1. Energy Art: This can remind you daily of your growth journey. Support yourself with Transformation or Becoming energy art in your space.
  2. Coaching Programs: Programs like TCP with Jim Fortin help with personal development.
  3. Podcasts: Jim Fortin’s free podcast offers helpful advice for personal transformation.

Are You in Alignment?

Being in alignment means doing what you are truly passionate about, irrespective of monetary gain. It’s about expressing your unique vision to the world and positively impacting others’ lives, creating expansion for others and yourself.

 

When we are not aligned with our work and engage in tasks we dislike or solely for the money, it can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. Such a mismatch between our true desires and the work we do can lead to stress, dissatisfaction, and overall reduced well-being. 

 

 

We can get in alignment when we live on a path with heart, doing the things that bring fulfillment and joy,  and this positively influences our mental and physical health.

Unlocking Self-Love: Beyond the Need for Overdoing

Many people take on more tasks and responsibilities, or “overdo”, in the hope of earning love or approval from others. However, this can often lead to stress and exhaustion, and it’s not a sustainable or healthy way to gain self-worth.

True self-worth comes from within, not from the validation of others. It’s important to learn to love and approve of ourselves, embracing our strengths and accepting our weaknesses. When we find love and approval within ourselves, we no longer feel the need to overdo things for others’ acceptance. We can then focus on fulfilling our own needs and desires, leading to a more balanced and content life.

When we define our worth based on others’ perceptions, we give away our power. Taking our power back involves:

  1. Releasing Attachments: Let go of the need for validation from others. Your value is inherent and doesn’t rely on external approval.

  2. Let Go of things that don’t serve you: Recognize habits that don’t serve you, like overworking. Replace these behaviors with things that do serve you instead.

  3. Practicing Self-Care: Prioritize activities that nourish your mind and body. This can range from getting enough sleep, giving yourself quiet time or flowers, getting regular massages or walks or making time for hobbies you love.

Remember, your value comes from within, and the love and approval you seek should first and foremost come from yourself.

Support yourself by releasing unhealthy attachments and practices, and focusing on self-care, you start to regain control over your life and well-being.

 

How Energy Art Can Improve Your Health

Energy art, deeply rooted in the principles of harmony, frequency, and resonance, can be an influential tool for bolstering your health. How?

Balancing Energies: Everything in our universe vibrates at specific frequencies, including our bodies. Energy art can help harmonize these vibrations, creating a balanced environment that fosters well-being. Try my Yin/Yang and Qi energy art for balance.

Saturday Night Live Art Shows- "Yin and Yang" Aligned Energy Art

Stress Reduction: The beauty of energy art can induce a sense of calm and tranquility, significantly reducing stress. As stress is a common precursor to many health issues, mitigating it can have profound health benefits. Energy art in blues and greens are calming. Try my Release, Attachments of the Heart, and Let it Go energy art.

“Let it Go” energy art and Edesign by Mary Ann Benoit.

Stimulating Positive Thoughts: Certain patterns and colors in energy art can evoke positive emotions, thoughts, and memories. These positive mental states can bolster mental health and, by extension, improve physical health. Try energy art in oranges, pinks and yellows.  See my Optimistic Orange, Passionate Pinks, and Yellow-Stimulate Positive Thoughts for Health collections.

“Heart of Gold” is part of my Yellow- Stimulate Postive Thoughts collection.

Encouraging Meditation and Mindfulness: Energy art can serve as a focal point for meditation, helping one concentrate and delve deeper into a meditative state. Regular meditation is linked to lowered blood pressure, reduced anxiety, and improved mental clarity.

Boosting Immune Function: Positive emotions and reduced stress, both of which can be facilitated by energy art, are known to have a strengthening effect on the immune system. This means better resistance to diseases and quicker recovery. Try art in my Metal Element and Crystal collections.

Enhancing Sleep Quality: A serene environment imbued with the calming influences of energy art can improve sleep patterns. Good sleep is a cornerstone of good health, aiding in healing, cognitive function, and emotional balance.

Improving Air Quality: If energy art incorporates natural elements or materials, it can also play a role in purifying the air, which is beneficial for respiratory health.

In essence, energy art is not just a feast for the eyes, but a nurturing force for the body and soul. When thoughtfully integrated into one’s living or working space, it can act as a consistent source of rejuvenation and holistic health.
